Slayyyter has canceled the remaining U.K. and European dates on her Wor$t Girl in the World tour after being diagnosed with laryngitis and vocal cord tears. The pop singer said she had attended multiple doctor visits and had been told to take medication and observe full vocal rest for at least two weeks.
Ten concerts were still scheduled when the cancellation was announced. The affected stops are Warsaw, Prague, Berlin, Antwerp, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Brighton and London, along with one other remaining date on the itinerary. The London show had been set as the tour’s closing night on November 5.
Fans will be able to receive full refunds through their original point of purchase. Slayyyter’s team is also working to rebook the canceled shows for next year, though no replacement dates have been confirmed.
A health-driven cancellation, not a postponed itinerary
The distinction matters for ticket-holders. These dates are canceled, meaning refunds are available now, rather than automatically being carried to a newly scheduled performance. A potential return is being explored, but it should not be treated as a confirmed rescheduled run until new dates are formally set.
Slayyyter framed the decision as necessary to avoid permanent damage to her voice. She acknowledged the effort that fans put into attending concerts, including travel plans and costumes, and said she was devastated not to deliver the performances they had anticipated.
“I am heartbroken to share after multiple doctor visits I have laryngitis and vocal cord tears and have been ordered to go on medication and full vocal rest for at least two weeks,” Slayyyter wrote.
Laryngitis is an inflammation affecting the larynx, commonly called the voice box. In a touring context, the immediate practical issue is that singing places sustained demand on the voice. “Vocal rest,” as used in Slayyyter’s statement, means she has been instructed not to use that voice professionally or otherwise during the recovery period. Her statement specifically identifies the goal as preventing further or permanent harm.
The term “vocal cord tears” is especially significant because the performer has not described this as merely a scheduling conflict or a short-lived inconvenience. Her explanation makes the health concern the deciding factor, and it leaves little room for a responsible attempt to push through the remaining dates.

Copenhagen and Hamburg were canceled first
The wider cancellation follows two earlier scrapped concerts in Copenhagen and Hamburg. On Wednesday, Slayyyter said she had to cancel those dates to protect her voice from further damage. The subsequent update ends the rest of the U.K. and European leg rather than limiting the disruption to those two stops.
That sequence offers fans a clear picture of how quickly live plans can change when a singer’s health becomes the priority. The initial cancellations concerned two individual shows; after further medical attention, the remaining run was no longer viable. It is a frustrating result for everyone with plans in place, but it is not presented as an optional artistic reset or a production issue.
For attendees, the useful next steps are straightforward:
- Check the original ticket seller or point of purchase for the refund process.
- Keep confirmation emails, order numbers and any relevant payment details available.
- Do not assume that a replacement show has been booked simply because the team intends to return next year.
- Watch Slayyyter’s official channels and ticketing communications for any future rebooking information.
Travel and accommodation arrangements are separate from the concert refund process. Slayyyter explicitly recognized that some fans had traveled for the shows, but the confirmed remedy in the announcement is a full ticket refund at the point of sale. Any other bookings will depend on the terms attached to those individual reservations.
What remains on Slayyyter’s release calendar
The tour news arrives shortly after Slayyyter announced Wor$t Man in America, which is due December 4 through RECORDS/Columbia Records. The project has been described as the “brother” album to Wor$t Girl in America.
That “brother” framing signals a companion relationship between the releases, rather than an unrelated follow-up. The new record is described as a counterpart that will bring contrasting visuals and a different perspective to themes and ideas previously explored. Beyond that characterization, no additional musical or visual details are established here, so listeners should be cautious about reading a full track-by-track concept into the title alone.
The overlap between an interrupted tour and a forthcoming album can understandably raise questions about promotional plans. At present, the confirmed facts are narrower: the remaining U.K. and European concerts have been canceled, the team hopes to rebook them next year, and Wor$t Man in America is scheduled for December 4. There is no confirmed replacement tour schedule attached to the album announcement.
Why vocal rest takes precedence
Live pop performance depends on a singer’s voice as both instrument and central means of communication with the crowd. Cancelling a run with only 10 dates left is therefore a consequential call: venues, ticket-holders, crews and travel arrangements are all affected. But Slayyyter’s statement puts the alternative in stark terms—continuing could risk lasting damage.
It is also worth separating the confirmed medical information from assumptions. Slayyyter has said she has laryngitis and vocal cord tears, has been prescribed medication and full vocal rest for at least two weeks, and canceled the dates to protect her voice. The announcement does not provide a wider prognosis, a timeline for returning to performance, or specific rebooked dates. Those details should not be inferred from the planned release of the new album.
For now, the clearest message to fans is that the concerts are off, refunds are available through the original point of sale, and a return to the affected cities is an intention rather than a guarantee. The canceled itinerary leaves a sizable gap in the tour, but it also reflects a choice to protect the performer’s ability to sing in the long term.
