South African musician Tyra has cancelled her long-awaited debut world tour two weeks before the start due to 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 agonising as has the severity of the situation,” she added.
Tyra, who won a Grammy last month for her viral hit “Water,” was scheduled to kick off her tour in Norway’s capital Oslo on March 21st.
However, she stated in her post that “continuing any festival or tour dates would jeopardise my long-term health and safety. “
Additionally, US media reported that she was forced to cancel her April performance at the Coachella music festival due to her injury.
She added that those who purchased concert tickets in North America would receive refunds, while tour dates in the UK and Europe would be postponed.
