Cody Simpson's vocal cord injury halts career and album plans
Cody Simpson has revealed a serious vocal cord injury that could threaten his career. The singer discovered a haemorrhage on one of his vocal cords a month ago while recording new music. Doctors have now ordered him to remain completely silent for two weeks to avoid surgery. The injury stemmed from a sinus infection Simpson was unaware he had. At first, he mistook his symptoms for fatigue and carried on recording. This worsened the condition, forcing him to cancel promotional appearances for his latest single.
Work on his upcoming album has been delayed as a result. While resting his voice, Simpson is considering releasing unfinished material. He is also writing lyrics and using a guitar to craft melodies without singing.
Fans and fellow musicians have rallied behind him. Many have pointed to other artists who have recovered from similar injuries, offering encouragement during his recovery. Simpson must now follow medical advice strictly to prevent permanent damage. The two-week silence is critical to his recovery. His ability to return to recording and performing depends on the healing process.
