Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage, has publicly disclosed her ongoing battle with a viral illness, necessitating a temporary period of ‘vocal rest.’

In an official statement shared via her Instagram handle on Tuesday, it was announced that all scheduled upcoming performances, including her highly anticipated inaugural headline event in London, have regrettably been postponed.

The statement read, “To my dear Savage Soldiers, I’ve been fighting off a virus for the past few weeks and was today firmly instructed to be on strict vocal rest for the next few months.

“I will, unfortunately, have to postpone all performances, including my first-ever headline area show in London.

“I’m heartbroken and devastated, but I have to do this to save what’s left of my voice.

“I’m so sorry. I love you all and promise to be back performing once I’m fully healed.”
