Cambridgeshire singer Sam Smith has taken to social media to tell fans he will undergo surgery and will therefore miss the Radio 1 Big Weekend.
The 22-year-old said he is 'very upset' and hopes to be back singing in the next 6-8 weeks.
He was due to perform in Norwich on May 24, but earlier today broke the news to fans on twitter and Instagram.
On social media he said:
I am very upset to announce I have been battling to get my vocal cords better the last 10 days but unfortunately they haven’t recovered and I am going to need surgery.
I’m so gutted to be missing all the shows and events I was meant to be playing at.
The doctors say I will be back in six to eight weeks and I cannot wait to sing for you all soon.
The singer recently cancelled his Australian tour due to a haemorrhage on his vocal cords but told fans he was doing his "absolute best" to sing again soon.
