These are not the best of times for Nigerian female music star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems as she has been diagnposed with reflux laryngitis.
For those who don’t know, reflux laryngitis is a voice disorder that results from irritation and swelling of the vocal folds due to the backflow of stomach fluids into the throat.
Therefore, the singer has regrettably announced that she will be taking a break from music till further notice.
She made the announcement on Tuesday, June 14th, 2022 via her Instagram page.
She wrote; “It breaks my heart to say this but there’s no other option for me. I’m not feeling too good at the moment.”
“After my last performance, I was diagnosed with Reflux laryngitis and I have to take some time off to protect what’s left of my voice.”
“On the doctor’s orders, I have to postpone the two shows this week – the Birmingham show on the 15th June and the first London show on July 17th.”
“All tickets are still valid! Again I am so sorry. I am so sorry for this inconvenience but I promise to be back better than ever by the grace of God. Then I’ll give you the best show.”
“Appreciate you all for understanding. You mean the world to me.”
