Explained simply
Slayyyter is an American pop singer whose music and live shows have built her a following in the UK and Europe. A tour is a series of concerts in different cities, with performers and crew travelling between venues.
Laryngitis is inflammation of the voice box, which can make speaking or singing difficult. Vocal cord tears are injuries to the tissues that vibrate to produce sound; singers may need rest and treatment to protect their voices and ability to perform.
Concert cancellations affect ticket-holders, venues and the artists and crew involved. Kalika, the tour’s support act, said she was left in Europe with her equipment on the tour bus after learning of the cancellations.
