Renowned Afrobeat sensation Tiwa Savage recently shared some unfortunate news with her loyal fans. She revealed that she’s been battling a virus for several weeks and has been advised to go on strict vocal rest for the next few months. This health setback has forced her to postpone all upcoming performances, including her much-anticipated headline arena show in London.
In a heartfelt message to her fan base, affectionately known as the “Savage Soldiers,” Tiwa expressed her deep disappointment at having to step away from the stage. For her, performing is not just a profession but also a passion. However, she recognizes the necessity of this break to ensure her full recovery and to protect the quality of her voice for future endeavors.
Here’s an excerpt from her message:
“To my dear Savage Soldiers, I’ve been fig@ting off a virus for the past few weeks and was today firmly instructed to be on strict vocal rest for the next rew 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.”
These trying times come on the heels of other incidents that have recently placed Tiwa Savage in the spotlight for reasons beyond her music. A few months ago, there were allegations of a kidnapping attempt involving the singer. While these allegations were reported by controversial media personality Kemi Olunloyo, Tiwa Savage herself did not publicly confirm or refute these claims, leaving some ambiguity surrounding the situation.
Despite these challenges, Tiwa Savage has been open with her fans about other aspects of her life. For example, she playfully attributed her youthful appearance to her good genes and celebrated her mother’s influence in a heartfelt Mother’s Day Instagram post.
