Sam Fender has said he feared he would never sing again after suffering a vocal cord haemorrhage.
The Hypersonic Missiles singer opened up about the "terrifying" experience during an episode of the Hide and Speak podcast which is hosted by North-East musician Matt Saxon.
Sam recalled the immense pain he felt during his performance at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Middlesbrough in 2019 and said it felt like being stabbed in the throat.
