Sam Smith Cancels Tour Dates Due to Hemorrhage on Vocal Cords

Sam Smith has been forced to cancel some upcoming tour dates after being diagnosed with a scary vocal cord hemorrhage.

The 22-year-old entertainer took to his Instagram account to share the news with fans and to explain what is happening.

“I am deeply, deeply saddened to tell my Australian fans, I have to cancel my Australian tour,” Sam wrote to his fans. “I have been vocally exhausted for a while now however last night in Sydney I had a small hemorrhage on my vocal cords. The doctors have told me I need to fully rest until my vocal chords have healed, otherwise this could become a huge long-term issue. I am so sorry to all who have bought tickets, I truly am. This kills me.”

Due to the medical emergency, Sam has cancelled dates for his sold-out shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

We hope Sam gets better soon!
