Nigerian singer, Temilade Openiyi, known popularly as Tems, has taken fans by shock after announcing a musical break due to her health conditions.
She broke the news of being diagnosed with reflux laryngitis by her doctors days after playing her last musical show this year.
In her narration, she noted that the decision troubled her, but it seems there was no other choice than to follow the advise of her doctor for the sake of her health.
“It breaks my heart to say this but there’s no other option for me. I’m not feeling too good at the moment,” she stated.
“After my last performance, I was diagnosed with Reflux laryngitis and I have to take some time off to protect what’s left of my voice. On the Doctor’s orders, I have to postpone the two shows this week the Birmingham show on the 15th of June (it’s tomorrow yeah I know) and the first London show on the 17th of July,” She reveals.
Tems emphasized that her two upcoming shows, originally scheduled for June of this year, have been rescheduled until further notice and that those who have already purchased tickets can keep them until the rescheduled time.
In a tweet on Tuesday, June 14, 2022, the music writer and producer apologized for the inconvenience and promised that the new show dates would be announced soon.
“The new dates for both shows will be announced tomorrow. All tickets are still valid! Again I am so sorry. I am so sorry for this inconvenience but I promise to be back better than ever by the grace of God. Then I’ll give you the best show ever. Appreciate you all for understanding. You mean the world to me,” She concludes.
Reflux laryngitis is an irritation in the back of the throat caused by acid or other chemicals that come up from your stomach. This usually happens at night while you’re sleeping. This condition is also known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), acid reflux, and chronic laryngitis.
