Violet Grohl is taking an unexpected pause on her headline run across the UK after a sudden vocal loss sidelined her right before showtime. The rising singer-songwriter was forced to call off her planned performance at Manchester's Band On The Wall mere hours before she was scheduled to perform. Things quickly went from bad to worse for northern fans when she confirmed that her follow-up concert at Glasgow’s famed King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut would also have to be shelved. Taking to social media to break the news directly to her followers, the musician shared her frustration over the last-minute decision. She explained that her vocal cords had completely quit on her, making it impossible to put on a proper show for the packed crowds.

The unexpected tour interruption hits right in the middle of a busy promotional run for the artist. Grohl has been traveling across the UK and Europe in support of her debut studio album, *Be Sweet To Me*, which hit shelves earlier this year in May. While the sudden cancellations left concertgoers disappointed, Grohl made sure to clarify that these missed stops are only temporary pauses rather than permanent cancellations. She confirmed to her audience that both the Manchester and Glasgow dates are being rescheduled for a later time. Ticket buyers are being advised to hold onto their passes, as updated gig information will be delivered to purchasers as soon as the fresh dates are finalized.

Grohl closed out her public statement with a direct promise to her supporters, emphasizing that she fully intends to bounce back and fulfill her live commitments as soon as she is back to full strength.
