Delta Goodrem postpones UK and European tour due to ongoing health issue

The beloved Aussie singer made the sad announcement to fans after doctors told her she needed to prioritise her health.

Delta Goodrem has regrettably informed fans she must postpone her upcoming UK and European concerts due to illness.

The Aussie singer made the announcement on Instagram today, telling her followers she needs to rest her voice after recently overusing and overworking it on many projects, this jeopardising her Hearts on the Run Tour.

“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,” she wrote in a note shared on the platform.

“I am feeling so grateful to be this busy in this moment of my career, but from overextending myself on a number of projects, including preparing new music for you all, I, unfortunately, overused my vocal cords to the point of me having no voice for extended periods of time.”

The 38-year-old said she has tried to push through the pain but doctors have told her she needs to take time away from the stage completely to properly heal.

“I have been pushing through this month believing my voice would heal, but as I sit here typing from rehearsals with a ready show, my doctors have just ordered me to go on strict vocal rest and not sing,” she wrote.

However, Goodrem reassured fans she would be back bigger, better and well-rested later in the year.

“I am so excited to have an incredible year of touring ahead. Nothing makes me happier than being on a stage and performing for you in full flight,” she concluded, adding that her team is “working on rescheduling these shows as soon as possible” and that “tickets will remain valid for the new dates, once announced”.

Goodrem’s Hearts On The Run Tour was scheduled to kick off in Dublin, Ireland, on April 4, concluiong in Manchester, England, on May 3. The concerts were to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her debut album Innocent Eyes, which was released in 2003 and featured her biggest hits, such as Born to Try and Lost Without You.
