Just when Tyla’s career was really picking up momentum, the Grammy winner announced that she had been forced to cancel all her tours due to an injury.
The SA-born ‘Water’ hit-maker was scheduled to kick off her two-continent Tyla Tour in Oslo on March 21. The European leg of the concert was then expected to take her to Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Cologne, Paris, and Amsterdam before wrapping up in London on April 1.
In between Tyla was also scheduled to perform at the anticipated Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival next month with Lana Del Rey, Tyler the Creator and Doja Cat as the 2024 headliners.
The singer released a statement on Instagram saying that although frustrating, her doctors advised her to deal with the injury before continuing her tour.
“My Tygers… All of you know that this moment you have all helped me transform into reality, has been a life-changing dream. I am so grateful and humbled by this past year and the way it’s changed my life. I can never thank you guys enough for all your loving support, all the joy, the laughter, and the wins,” Tyla wrote in her statement.
“As much as this is something I would rather have dealt with privately, it’s important that I share what I have to share with you today. For the past year I’ve been silently suffering with an injury that has tragically worsened. I’ve seen doctors and specialists with high hopes but the pain has only become more agonising as has the severity of the situation.
She said she is “absolutely heartbroken to have to say this” but she won’t be able to proceed with the tour.
“In consulting with medical professionals it’s become increasingly clear that continuing any festival or tour dates would jeopardise my long-term health and safety.”
Eish, shame.
We hope the young superstar gets back onto the road again soon.
