Important news regarding Jess Glynne in Colwyn Bay

27/06/2019

We are very sorry to announce that Jess Glynne will no longer be performing at Stadiwm Zip World on Sunday the 7th of July due to medical advice. We are devastated by this news just as much as you are, as we were looking forward to some of pop’s biggest hits in the Colwyn Bay sunshine.

Jess has provided a full statement below

“It absolutely kills me to say this – especially given what has happened in the past few weeks – but on the advice of my throat surgeon, I am going to have to cancel my next shows through until July 14th and I hope to be back as soon as possible after that. I know many of my fans feel I let them down so badly when I pulled out of the Isle of Wight festival but the reason I knew I just wasn’t going to be able to make that performance has now been made clear to be by my doctor, Dr Zeitels. It is true that I went out and celebrated the end of the Spice tour. That was a massive high for me and I wanted to mark it with the women who’d become friends and mentors to me . But I had also been suffering on and off for weeks with anxiety about my voice. It wasn’t right. I wasn’t sounding my best and I felt there was something wrong. Two days ago I came to Boston to see my surgeon who told me my vocal chord has haemorrhaged and that if I wanted to remain as a performer I needed to urgently take a break, rest my voice completely for the next 10 days and try and remain in total silence to give my vocal chords a chance to recover. Basically he told me I have been completely overdoing everything. In the last six months I’ve performed almost 100 shows, I’ve pushed through at times when I know I’ve been tired and overstretched and I got to breaking point, my voice literally got to breaking point. The thing is I am my voice. If my voice goes, I go. I am so privileged to do what I do, I am so privileged to have fans out there who come and see me. But I never want to be less than 100 percent. I never want to give you less than 100 percent. I am so devastated to be letting anyone down but I want you to know the full truth of my situation so you understand why I have to do this. All I know is I have to go away, look after my voice and come back stronger, better and be the performer my fans truly deserve”

You will be contacted by the ticketing agency from which you purchased your tickets in due course.

Again we are really devastated by this news and hope you join us in wishing Jess a full and speedy recovery.

As a result the show on the 7th July at Stadiwm Zip World is now cancelled.
The Swansea show at Singleton Park on Sunday 28th July remains unaffected
