Sam Fender scrapped his concert in Glasgow last night and, in what’s sure to be a personal blow, has been forced to cancel what would have been a triumphant Newcastle homecoming gig just before Christmas, on 20 December.
The cancellations come after Fender has had a bout of the flu which he had been struggling through, but which has now escalated into a haemorrhaged right vocal cord. Acting on the advice of two doctors he took to social media to let his Glasgow fans know that he wouldn’t be able to play that night with just a few hours before curtain up.
