Slayyyter, in the midst of promoting her upcoming album wor$t man in america, and alongside the year’s release wor$t girl in America, has just canceled her European tour. The artist was scheduled to perform in Berlin, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow and London, but health reasons prevent it. She announced this on social media:
“It breaks my heart to tell you that, after several visits to the doctor, I have been diagnosed with laryngitis and tears in my vocal cords. I must undergo medical treatment and maintain absolute vocal rest for at least two weeks. I know how much time and effort goes into attending a show. Some of you have traveled, others have dressed up, and I am devastated that I can’t deliver the show you were hoping to see.”
The cancellation has sparked controversy, as reported by NME, because the tour’s opening act, Kalika, claimed she learned of the suspension on social media.
She described it as the biggest opportunity of her life and said she felt “abandoned in the middle of Europe,” with no idea where to turn. “Obviously, Slayyyter’s health comes first and I wish her a speedy recovery. But here we are, abroad, our team is stuck in the tour bus, and we don’t even know how to recover it or how we will get back home. My heart is in pieces.”
From her website, it appears the Slayyyter tour will resume in February with dates in Australia and South America, culminating in June at Madison Square Garden in New York. It will be her biggest show yet, and tickets have already sold out.
