There was also a post on the official Ultita Arena Cardiff website includes a message from Paloma Faith, once again apologizing for another cancellation: “I am devastated to announce I have been advised by medical professionals not to perform my Cardiff show tomorrow (Friday 19 April) but to reschedule.” 

“I am doing vocal rest, steaming, gargling, and I even had a steroid injection. At the moment it’s one day at a time so will let you know tomorrow about Brighton but I don’t want to do anything more than I want to do these shows and know that when you do come they will be the best show I can do for you. So far this tour has been incredible and I am dying to get on with it! “

“This is the worst thing to have to do. And I can’t apologise enough…… weirdly the kids are behaving better now I can’t speak, which is confusing me. Please hang on to your tickets and as soon as my team have a date to reschedule to we will let you know.”

Faith has been battling a case of laryngitis, which affects the voice box or vocal cords in the throat when they become irritated or swollen. It usually goes away by itself within 1 to 2 weeks, according to the NHS website.
