Tyla Cancels Highly Anticipated North American Tour Amidst Health Concerns
In a surprising turn of events, South African sensation Tyla has regrettably announced the cancellation of her upcoming North American tour due to a deteriorating injury that has plagued her for the past year.
The rising star, known for her chart-topping single “Water,” was set to embark on the Tyla Tour starting on March 21 in Oslo, Norway, with plans for international dates before returning to North America. Unfortunately, all North American tour dates have been scrapped, but Tyla intends to reschedule her U.K. and European performances.
Taking to social media, Tyla shared a heartfelt message with her fans, expressing the difficulty of making this announcement public. She revealed that the injury she has been silently battling has tragically worsened, despite consulting with various doctors and specialists. The pain has intensified, and the severity of the situation prompted her to prioritize her long-term health and safety.

“As much as this is something I would rather have dealt with privately, it’s important that I share what I have to share with you today,” Tyla expressed in her statement. “In consulting with medical professionals, it’s become increasingly clear that continuing any festival or tour dates would jeopardize my long-term health and safety.”
This unfortunate development comes at a peak moment in Tyla’s career, following the success of “Water,” which climbed to No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. In November, she announced her debut album, scheduled for release on March 22. Tyla also recently made history by winning the inaugural award for the best African music performance with “Water.”
Addressing her fans, affectionately referred to as “Tygers,” Tyla expressed her gratitude for their unwavering support and apologized for the cancellation. She assured them that she and her team are diligently working on creating a spectacular show for when she recovers and is ready to return to the stage, targeting a summer comeback.
For those who purchased tickets for the North American headline dates, automatic refunds will be processed. Fans in other territories will be contacted by their ticket providers with alternative options, while everyone is urged to keep an eye out for updates on new dates and information.
Tyla concluded her message by thanking her Tygers for their understanding during this challenging time. The music industry and fans alike eagerly await her return to the stage when she is back at the peak of her health.
