JOHANNESBURG, March 8 — South Africa’s Grammy-winning artist Tyla has cancelled her much-anticipated world tour just weeks before it was start due to an injury.

The rising music star, who gained international fame last year with hit single Water, said she was heartbroken after doctors advised her against proceeding with the tour.

Writing on social media, the 22-year-old said that for the past year she has been “silently suffering” with an unspecified injury that “has tragically worsened”.
