Cody Simpson cannot ‘walk or talk’ as double injury postpones new album

Australian singer Cody Simpson has revealed he is unable to "walk or talk" after suffering a dislocated knee and a damaged vocal cord, forcing him to postpone his upcoming album and live performances. The 29-year-old shared the news with his 4.8 million Instagram followers, detailing a series of setbacks that have halted his career.

Simpson explained that he sustained the knee injury during rehearsals for a new music video. This unfortunate incident meant that an operation scheduled to address his damaged vocal cord had to be delayed. Consequently, the pop star confirmed that his new music and planned shows would be put on hold, though he assured fans he would "be back stronger."
