South African music star Tyla has cancelled her highly-awaited debut world tour two weeks before it was due to begin, citing an injury.
The Grammy-winning singer did not disclose the nature of the injury
“For the past year I’ve been silently suffering with an injury that has tragically worsened,” she shared on Instagram on Thursday, without disclosing the nature of the injury.
“I’ve seen doctors and specialists with high hopes but the pain has only become more agonizing as has the severity of the situation,” she added.
Tyla, who last month won a Grammy for her viral hit Water, was scheduled to begin her tour on 21 March in Norway’s capital, Oslo.
But she said in her post that “continuing any festival or tour dates would jeopardize my long-term health and safety”.
