Earlier today, Sam Smith took to Instagram to announce he had to cancel his Australian tour due to a small small hemorrhage on his vocal cords. Sam wrote, “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 hemorrhage on my vocal cords. 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. We will be announcing re-arranged dates very shortly. This kills me.”

The cancellation includes sold out dates in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth, as well as TV appearances. Sam has not yet announced whether his Asian tour, which is set to kick off May 7 in Tokyo, will be affected.
