Sam Smith has been forced to cancel all remaining shows on his current Australian tour after damaging his vocal chords.
The British vocalist was due to perform in Sydney on Tuesday, having played a show in the city on Monday, however, just before he was due to take to the stage the 22-year old confirmed he was unable to sing after suffering a haemorrhage on his vocal chords.
"I am deeply, deeply saddened to tell my Australian fans, I have to cancel my Australian tour. I have been vocally exhausted for a while now however last night in Sydney I had a small haemorrhage on my vocal chords.
"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."
Frontier Touring has also confirmed they are working with Sam to schedule new dates in December and those with tickets for the cancelled shows will be given priority to purchase tickets for the rescheduled dates if and when they are confirmed.
