South African music sensation Tyla has made the difficult decision to cancel her highly-anticipated debut world tour, just two weeks before its scheduled start, due to an injury.
In an Instagram post shared on Thursday, Tyla revealed, “For the past year I’ve been silently suffering with an injury that has tragically worsened,” without specifying the nature of the injury.
“I’ve seen doctors and specialists with high hopes but the pain has only become more agonising as has the severity of the situation.”
Tyla, who recently clinched a Grammy for her viral hit “Water,” was set to kick off her tour on March 21 in Oslo, Norway.
However, she expressed in her post that “continuing any festival or tour dates would jeopardise my long-term health and safety.”
The injury has also led to the cancellation of her planned appearance at the Coachella music festival in April, according to reports from US media.
Tyla assured fans that ticket holders for her North American concerts would receive refunds, while her tour dates in the UK and Europe would be rescheduled.
