In her candid message, she revealed her recent battle with a persistent vocal virus that had been afflicting her for several weeks.

In 2023, Tiwa Savage experienced a remarkably successful year, marked by the release of her hit single “Stamina” and her influential guest appearance on Sypro‘s track “Who’s Your Guy?”

However, her journey took an unexpected turn when she encountered a vocal infection that threatened to disrupt her flourishing career. This infection necessitated a crucial decision and significant sacrifice for the renowned singer.

Distressed by her condition, she confided that her physicians had firmly advised her to undergo an extended period of vocal rest to allow her voice to heal properly. The need for this hiatus came with immense disappointment and emotional weight for the artist.

According to her post,

“To my dear Savage Soldiers, I’ve been fighting off a virus for the past few weeks and was today firmly instructed to be on strict vocal rest for the next few months.

I will unfortunately have to postpone all performances including my first ever headline arena show in London.

I’m heartbroken and devastated but I have to do this to save what’s left of my voice.

I’m so sorry. I love you all and promise to be back performing once

I’m fully healed.”

Regrettably, the vocal rest would demand a series of tough choices from Tiwa Savage, including the postponement of all her scheduled performances.

One significant event is her first-ever headline arena show at the Wembley Arena in London.

Scheduled for November 2023, the London show was poised to make history as the first headline performance by a female Afrobeats artist at this iconic venue.

The decision to defer this event and other concert dates, which were held in anticipation by her fans, has undoubtedly been a challenging one.

Tiwa Savage’s message to her supporters shows how heartbroken she is as she comes to terms with this momentous decision. Her heartfelt message was filled with apologies and a deep sense of longing to be back in the limelight, showcasing her remarkable talents and connecting with her audience.

Nevertheless, Tiwa Savage remained steadfast in her determination to safeguard her most valuable instrument – her voice.

The news of her postponed shows left fans around the world wishing Tiwa Savage a speedy and complete recovery.

As they anticipated her triumphant return to the stage, the industry continues to hold her in high regard as one of Africa’s most decorated and successful musical talents.
