Hozier is taking a brief break from the road to rest and recuperate. The “Too Sweet” singer informed fans on Monday (August 26) that he’s been forced to postpone tonight’s (August 27) planned show in Billings, MT at the First Interstate Arena and Wednesday’s (August 28) gig at Casper, WY’s Ford Wyoming Center due to vocal issues.
“I want to thank each and every one of you for coming to a show during this run, and in particular those of you who have shown such kind support over the last number of nights while I’ve struggled vocally getting over a recent virus,” the singer wrote in a message on X.
“Although I’ve still really enjoyed getting to connect with you all from the stage, my voice just isn’t getting the chance it needs to recover properly,” he continued. “It breaks my heart to do this, but I’m going to have to postpone the next two shows…. to give my health and vocal chords every chance of recovery for the sake of the rest of the the tour.”
While the 34-year-old singer did not provide additional details about his what is ailing him, he did tell ticketholders that information on the rescheduled shows will be announced soon; fans are encouraged to hold on to their tickets, which will be honored on the new dates, or to apply for a refund from the point of purchase if they are unable to attend the rescheduled gigs.
Hozier recently released the three-track Unaired EP, which features songs recorded during the sessions for his 2023 Unreal Unearth album. Assuming his vocal issues clear up, the singer’s next slated tour date is on Friday (August 30) at Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre in Greenwood Village, CO.
