In a poignant message to her fanbase, Grammy Award winning singer Tyla, disclosed that she has been silently grappling with a debilitating injury for the past year, a situation that has recently reached a critical juncture.
“My Tygers,” she began, addressing her fans with affection and gratitude, “you have been my pillars of strength, my source of joy, and my inspiration. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for your unwavering support throughout this journey.”
The South African star states that she has been enduring a private battle, and as a result she has to cancel the tour.

My Tygers,
All of you know that this moment you have all helped me transform into a reality, has been a life-long dream. I am so grateful and humbled by this past year and the way it’s changed my life.
I can never thank you guys enough for all your loving support, all the joy, the laughter, and the wins!
As much as this is something I would rather have dealt with privately, Its important that I share what l have to share with you today. For the past year l’ve been silently suffering with an injury that has tragically worsened. I’ve seen doctors and specialists with high hopes but the pain has only become more agonizing as has the severity of the situation.
lam absolutely heartbroken to have to say this but as of right now I won’t be able to proceed with the tour.
In consulting with medical professionals it’s become increasingly clear that continuing any festival or tour dates would jeopardize my long-term health and safety.
Words cannot describe my frustration at this pivotal point in my career. So please know that my team and l are working diligently on a spectacular show for you as soon as I am recovered and ready to return safely onstage this summer.
For North American headline dates, your tickets will automatically be refunded, for all other territories you will be contacted by your ticket provider regarding options, please keep a look out for new dates and information.
Thank you Tygers for understanding
