A popular Glastonbury performer had to cancel their 2025 show due to a serious vocal injury just hours before it was set to start.

British singer and songwriter, Sam Fender, has made the difficult decision to cancel the final two dates of his 2024 tour in order to prevent any lasting damage to his vocal chords. The 30-year-old musician expressed his deep disappointment in a recent Instagram post, revealing that he has been battling a haemorrhage in his right vocal chord.

The two cancelled concerts were scheduled to take place in Glasgow and Newcastle on December 17 and 20, respectively, and were set to wrap up his highly anticipated UK and Ireland tour, People Watching. Fender, who is already being hailed as a potential headliner for Glastonbury 2025, shared with his one million followers that he has been struggling with the flu for the past few days.

Despite his compromised voice, Fender had been determined to put on the best show possible for his fans and had given it his all during his previous performances. However, a visit to the doctor revealed that he had suffered a haemorrhage in his vocal chord, leaving him absolutely heartbroken and unable to perform.

Fender's caption on Instagram also mentioned that he had been advised by his doctor to go on vocal rest for a prolonged period of time in order for his vocal chord to heal properly. He expressed his regret to all the fans who were on their way to the cancelled concerts, promising to find a way to reschedule the shows for them in the future.

The talented musician has already performed to thousands of fans across the country this month and had been looking forward to the final two shows of his successful tour. However, this unforeseen vocal injury has put a halt to his plans and has left many wondering about his upcoming stadium tour in 2025.

Fender's tour, which was announced in October, has caused quite a frenzy among his devoted fanbase, with tickets selling out quickly. He has already wowed audiences in Dublin, Leeds, Manchester, and Birmingham in December. Fans have also been eagerly anticipating the release of his third studio album, People Watching, in February 2025, along with his return to the stage for a stadium tour.

Despite the setback, Fender's fans have shown their unwavering support and have flooded his Instagram post with messages of love and well wishes for a speedy recovery. It is unclear at this time what impact this vocal injury will have on his future live performances, including a possible appearance at Glastonbury in June.
