  • Sam Fender has cancelled several upcoming European festival appearances due to suffering a vocal cord haemorrhage.
  • The musician's ENT doctor advised him not to sing for the next fortnight to avoid causing lasting damage to his vocal cords.
  • Fender initially had slightly swollen vocal cords, performed at Silverstone, and a subsequent check-up confirmed the haemorrhage.
  • The affected festivals include Rock Werchter, Down the Rabbit Hole, NOS Alive, and Montreux Jazz Festivals.
  • This is not the first time Fender has faced vocal issues, as he previously cancelled 2024 tour dates due to a similar injury.
