Grammy Award winner Tyla cancels tour due to injury

'Water' hitmaker Tyla has announced that her upcoming tour has been cancelled until further notice.
The 22-year-old was set to embark on an American and European tour later this month. However, all dates have been scrapped due to an injury. Tyla announced the news on Thursday.
"As much as this is something I would rather have dealt with privately, it’s important that I share what I have to share with you today,” she wrote on Instagram.
“For the past year, I’ve been silently suffering with an injury that has tragically worsened. I’ve seen doctors and specialists with high hopes, but the pain has only become more agonizing as has the severity of the situation."
Tyla, who has also cancelled upcoming festival appearances - including Coachella, says she is "heartbroken" that she won't be able to continue the tour.
