Snail Mail released her sophomore album, Valentine, a few weeks ago. The band was set to start touring behind it this coming weekend, but today Lindsey Jordan has announced that a portion of her upcoming tour dates will be postponed so she can get vocal cord surgery. “I went to see an ENT last week and they found massive polyps in my vocal cords (surprisingly from vocal trauma due to talking!! shocker lol) that need to be operated on to prevent permanent damage to my voice,” she wrote in a statement.

Here’s Jordan’s full statement:

Lindsey here – unfortunately, with terrible news this time. I’ve been struggling with my vocal health more and more each year. I lose my voice after a couple days of singing. I went to see an ENT last week and they found massive polyps in my vocal cords (surprisingly from vocal trauma due to talking!! shocker lol) that need to be operated on to prevent permanent damage to my voice. The recovery time is three months/speech therapy and in an effort to make sure the rest of the tour can happen, I will be postponing our first US tour which was supposed to begin this week as well as our initial UK/Euro tour :(. I’m devastated to be pushing off shows even longer. My team is working overtime to reschedule everything that we’re postponing–we will have everything rescheduled imminently. Thank you so much for all the support you’ve given the new record so far.  

The first leg of the North American tour has already been rescheduled for summer 2022; her rescheduled UK/Euro tour dates are still to be announced. View the updated tour itinerary below.
