Justin Timberlake postpones December tour dates due to bruised vocal cords

Actor-singer Justin Timberlake has postpones a number of performances of his Man Of The Woods tour due to bruised vocal cords. The 37-year-old musician posted a statement of Instagram, saying he took the decision on the advice of his doctors.

"Hey guys, I'm sure you have heard that I've had to postpone several tour dates due to bruised vocal cords. My vocal cords are healing, but they are not all the way back to normal yet, so my doctors want me to continue to rest my voice," Timberlake wrote.

"They have asked me to hold off on singing until next month. I'm really sorry, I want to be back on the stage and I'm doing all I can to get there quickly," he added.
