Tyla Scraps World Tour & Coachella Performance Over Health Concerns

Tyla has canceled her upcoming tour. On Thursday (March 7), the “Water” vocalist shared a lengthy message on her Instagram account, explaining how she arrived at the tough decision to cancel all upcoming dates, including Coachella.

In her address to her fans, who she affectionately calls her “Tigers,” Tyla revealed an injury has become too gruesome to overcome in pursuit of fulfilling her dream.

“As much as this is something I would rather have dealt with privately,” Tyla began. “For the past year, I’ve been silently suffering with an injury that has tragically worsened. I’ve seen doctors and specialists with high hopes, but the pain has only become more agonizing as has the severity of the situation. In consulting with medical professionals, it’s become increasingly clear that continuing any festival or tour dates would jeopardize my long-term health and safety.”

She added, “I am absolutely heartbroken. Words cannot describe my frustration at this pivotal point in my career. So please know that my team and I are working diligently on a spectacular show for you as soon as I am recovered and ready to return safely onstage this summer.”

The Grammy Award winner didn’t provide a specific timeframe, however, she did assure fans she would remain in high visibility amid her physical rehab in the caption of the post.
