Sam Fender has cancelled his Glasgow show just hours before he was due to take to the stage at the OVO Hydro tonight.The star took to X this afternoon to announce he was "heartbroken" to cancel the gig due to a haemorrhaged vocal cord after performing in the city last night.Fender also confirmed he would be calling off his shows in Newcastle.In a statement posted to Instagram, he said: "Glasgow and Newcastle, as most of you know l've had the flu for a few days now.

Regardless of how compromised my voice was I did everything I could to get it in working order last night to put on the best show possible."Today I've had an ENT scope/camera down my throat and sadly l've haemorrhaged my right vocal cord, I'm absolutely heartbroken.

This has been the best tour so far and all I want to do is get up and sing again for you all tonight."I've had two separate ENT doctors say if I perform tonight I'm risking lasting damage to my voice and I have been advised to be on vocal rest and not use my voice for a prolonged length of time until it heals."I've done everything by the book this tour living like a monk, it's so unlucky.

I'm SO, SO sorry to all of you who are on your way tonight. We're trying to figure out a way to reschedule for you all, more news soon.
