Chart-topping star Tyla faces setback, cancels global tour due to health challenges

Last year’s international sensation, the emerging music star who soared to fame with the chart-topping single «Water», revealed heartbreaking news on social media. At just 22 years old, Tyla expressed deep sorrow after receiving doctors’ advice to cancel her highly anticipated global tour.

In a candid Instagram post, she disclosed a year-long struggle with an undisclosed injury that has sadly worsened despite consultations with numerous specialists.

Tyla, who gained prominence with the groundbreaking debut of «Water» on the Billboard Hot 100 chart last October, and later secured a Grammy for Best African Music Performance in February, shared her frustration at this pivotal point in her career.

The anticipated global tour, set to commence in Oslo, Norway, this month and including stops across Europe and North America, as well as a performance at the renowned Coachella festival, is now on hold.

In her message, the Johannesburg-born amapiano artist emphasized her commitment to crafting a spectacular show once she has fully recovered.

Despite the setbacks, Tyla expressed gratitude for the ongoing support and assured fans that her team is diligently working towards her safe return to the stage.

«It’s tough having to decline opportunities you’ve dreamed of, but I trust in God’s plan», she wrote, reflecting on the challenges of navigating her burgeoning career amid unexpected health struggles.

Tyla’s genre-defying «Water», blending R&B and amapiano, has left an indelible mark on the music scene, and fans eagerly await her return to the spotlight.
