CHRIS O’LEARY & BAND -FÄLLT LEIDER AUS-
It is with a heavy heart I must share some bad news. I was diagnosed with vocal nodes and I’ve been placed on strict vocal rest and therapy . Therefore I have to cancel all shows until June at the earliest . Unfortunately that means I will have to postpone the entire European tour . My Euro tours are the highlight of my entire year so I’m especially saddened .
I am so very sorry for the inconvenience this has placed on you , it was absolutely not my intent . Enclosed you will find a copy of the diagnosis from my Ear, Nose amd Throat specialist. I am looking to returning to Europe as quickly as possible once my vocal issues are cleared up .
Thank you and once again my deepest apologies,
Chris O’Leary
