Why Sam Fender has cancelled several European gigs

• 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.
