"I have been diagnosed with a serious hemorrhage on one of my vocal cords."
Cody Simpson, 29, has revealed on social media that he is facing a serious vocal cord hemorrhage, a condition that developed after he continued to sing through a sinus infection. The singer has been ordered to remain on strict vocal rest for two more weeks to avoid the need for surgery.
Simpson has canceled all upcoming TV and radio performances tied to his single "Baby Blue." After weeks of silence already, his medical team has prescribed an additional fortnight of complete vocal rest.
Despite the setback, Simpson continues to work on his album as a lyricist, writing vocal melodies on guitar. He intends to keep fans updated on his recovery process through regular social media posts.
