"So upset": Delta Goodrem's sad health announcement
Delta Goodrem has been forced to postpone her upcoming Innocent Eyes tour, after she has been placed on "strict vocal rest".
The Aussie songstress is reportedly "so upset" about he decision to postpone the UK and Europe leg of the tour, according to Nine's entertainment reporter Richard Wilkins.
"She's OK, but she's upset, as you would be," Wilkins said as he broke the news on Today Extra.
"She's been so looking forward to this," he added. "It's the 20th anniversary of Innocent Eyes, the [album] tour that took her all around the world."
Goodrem also shared the news to her fans on Instagram, as she wrote out an apology on a whiteboard while she sat at a piano.
She then shared a more lengthy message explaining the situation in depth, telling her fans that her busy schedule has proved to be too much on her vocal cords.
"It hurts my heart to have to share with you that we've had to make the difficult decision to reschedule my upcoming UK & European shows," the star wrote.
"I am feeling so grateful to be this busy at this moment of my career, but from overextending myself on a number of projects, including preparing new music for you all, I have unfortunately overused my vocal cords to the point of me having no voice for extended periods of time," she added.
On Today Extra, Wilkins added that cancelling a show is something that "every artist hates", but "for Delta, this is such a big thing."
"She's so resilient, she's had problems before but she needs to do this," Wilkins said.
The "problem" Wilkins is referring to is when Delta battled cancer in the early years of her career, after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma when she was just 18-years-old in 2003.
At the time, Goodrem had just released her debut album Innocent Eyes, but was forced to spend her time undergoing chemotherapy treatment and radiation rather than on tour.
