It looks like another artist falls victim to being over worked on tours. After Frank was forced to end a concert early at Norway’s Oya Festival after losing his voice, he issued the statement below:
“Let me start by saying I feel like an asshole right now but a tough decision had to be made in regard to my schedule over the next months and the casualties of that decision include my appearances at upcoming festivals in Europe and my opening slot of the European leg of the Coldplay world tour. Sorry as fuck, I’ll be back if you’ll have me.”
The lost of his voice similar to singers Adele, John Mayer, and Florence Welch early this year is suspect to be caused by harsh touring schedules, which has left many singers no time to rest their vocal chords. Below is the list of tour dates that have been canceled:
