- In a heartfelt Instagram update, she bared her soul to her fans, spilling the tea on why she had to take a rain check.
Due to a virus infection that left her voice in the lurch, Afrobeats Superstar, Tiwa Savage has had to hit the pause button on her highly anticipated debut headlining performance at London’s O2 Arena.
In a heartfelt Instagram announcement made on a Tuesday, the 43-year-old artist revealed her ongoing battle with the virus over the past few weeks and the doctor’s orders to maintain a stringent vocal rest regimen for the next few months.
The music sensation also extended a heartfelt apology to her fans, assuring them that she’ll return to the stage once she’s back in full vocal fighting form.
Tiwa Savage wrote;
“To my dear Savage Soldiers, I’ve been fighting off a virus for the past few weeks and was today firmly instructed to be on strict vocal rest for the next few months.
“I will unfortunately have to postpone all performances including my first ever headline arena show in London. I’m heartbroken and devastated but I have to do this to save what’s left of my voice. I’m so sorry. I love you all and promise to be back performing once I’m fully healed,”

Tiwa was among those who performed at the Arena in London alongside singer Asake during the latter’s concert. The duo performed their hit single ‘Loaded’.
Back in 2018, Tiwa Savage made history as the inaugural African female artist to completely fill up the Indigo at London’s O2 Arena.
Her debut UK show, “The Savage Tour,” generated such a buzz that tickets flew off the shelves well before the curtains rose for the concert.
