Lewis Capaldi has been left ‘absolutely devastated’ after he was forced to postpone two shows after he was diagnosed with bronchitis on Monday.
The singer, 26, issued an apology to fans that bought tickets for his concerts in Zurich and Milan after he was told by a voice specialist in Sweden that he would need vocal rest “for at least three days”.
A statement posted on his Twitter account read: “I’m absolutely devastated to be typing this.
“As lots of you know for the past few nights of the tour I’ve been really struggling with my voice, last night in Stockholm I tried my best to sing through the show even with it feeling really uncomfortable because I was desperate not to let any of you down.
“I’ve just been to see a voice specialist in Sweden who’s told me I’ve got bronchitis and that I should be on vocal rest for at least three days to give me any chance of not damaging my voice and being able to continue touring.”
However, the Scottish hitmaker had some good news for those meant to attend his postponed gigs, which were due to take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, revealing he has already rescheduled them.

Signing off his post, the Pointless singer vowed to do as much as he can to ensure he is back to full health for his gig in Barcelona on Friday, March 10.
He added: “Hate letting you all down and this is the last thing I want to be writing. Going to be doing everything I can with rest and medication to be ready for Barcelona onwards.”
