clap your hands if you’re working too hard
apparently the white stuff on my chords is bad news, it means im dehydrated and im having to work harder. i thought i would share this intimate view with you guys, its quite hypnotic right?
what else should i be? all apologies
i am very sorry everyone but i will not be able to perform tonight at washington dc’s 930 club. its been a crazy week and after our show in ibiza 2 days ago i lost my voice. i flew back to london and my laryngologist advised me not to come out and start the tour as i need to rest my chords but you know me kids, im a fighter. i am here in the US and we are waiting to see how my voice recovers. please send me some happy thoughts. i hope to see all my american friends soon
