Brit Award-winner Tom Walker forced to postpone Aberdeen gig due to illness

Brit Award-winner Tom Walker has been forced to postpone his Aberdeen gig on Sunday due to illness.

The singer songwriter was scheduled to play at The Tunnels.

But the Something Beautiful singer, who won the Best Breakthrough Act at the Brits in 2019, is suffering with stressed vocal chords as a result of chest infection.

Sharing the news on social media he said he was “unbelievably sorry” as shows in both Aberdeen and Dundee this weekend were cancelled.

He added: “I’ve gone for a check up and been told I’ve got stressed vocal cords as a result of a chest infection.

“I’ve taken professional advice and am resting up until Monday.”

Despite the setback the musician said his team were working with venues to try and reschedule dates.

“My team are talking to venues and promoters and we are trying to reschedule Norwich, Dundee and Aberdeen, he said.

“I am so so sorry to disappoint everyone, this is the last thing any artist wants to be doing after 2 years of gigs down the pan.

“There’s really nothing I can do other than rest up for now.”
