Sam Smith Has Recovered His Voice and Will Continue His Tour

Sam Smith can now speak again after throat surgery, and he has rescheduled his canceled April tour of Australia.

Smith had surgery last month after he suffered a hemorrhage in his vocal cords, Billboard reports. He announced the return of his voice Wednesday in a joyful post on Instagram:

The singer will head to Australia in November and December to make up for the April shows he had to cancel for the surgery, beginning with a show at Perth Arena on November 28.

“I’m unbelievably excited to get back onstage and perform for you all again, and I promise it will be so much better than it would have been before when my voice was damaged,” Smith said in a statement. “The past few months have been incredibly difficult, but the support, love and patience my fans have shown me is absolutely unreal. I am so grateful to every one of you. I can’t wait to see you all.”
