Smith Cancels Asia

Smith had already pulled out of scheduled shows in Australia after doctors told him his vocal cords had hemorrhaged, but apparently he waited a week before confirming the cancellations of his remaining Asian tour stops.

In a message posted May 4 on the website of Japanese promoter Creativeman Productions, Smith said, “I’ve been to the doctors today and although my 4 days vocal rest has helped, I still have some serious issue with my vocal cords which need to be addressed. I am having to fly to the USA to see a specialist there and as a result need to re-schedule the shows to later this year. This is horrible for me and I’m truly very sorry that I cannot come and see you guys.”

Smith also canceled shows in the Philippines.
