‘Real Love’ singer undergoing vocal surgery next week: ‘I’m so sorry and it kills me but I have to cancel some forthcoming shows and festivals’

Singer Jess Glynne was forced to pull out of a number of upcoming shows and festivals, including Malta’s Isle of MTV, due to a vocal surgery she will undergo next week.

An official statement by Isle of MTV confirmed that Glynne will be unable to perform at this year’s edition.

“We understand that Jess is very disappointed to have to miss the show as well as her other European performances across the summer. We will continue to bring fans all the latest news regarding this year's Isle of MTV but for now, we wish Jess a speedy recovery and hope everyone continues to look forward to the 7th July!”

On Twitter, the 25-year-old singer said: “I am so so sad to tell you that I'm having to have vocal surgery next week. I'm so sorry and it kills me but I have to cancel some forthcoming shows and festivals. I'm a little scared but I will be back singing better than ever very soon! Love hugs and kisses Jess xxx.”

The singer's latest single Hold My Hand made it to number one in the Official Singles Chart in March and her debut album, I Cry When I Laugh, is out in August.
