SZA returned to the stage in New York City on Tuesday night after being temporarily removed from the TDE Championship Tour due to a vocal injury.
Fans in attendance seemed happy with her performance, but after she got off stage, she reportedly tweeted (and later deleted) that her vocals might not yet be fully healed.
Considering she deleted the tweets within an hour of the performance, it's unclear exactly how dire the situation is. Instead of "permanently injured" vocals, there's also the chance that they're just not yet fully healed and she's holding herself to high standards. We'll have to wait for further word from SZA or the TDE team for more context on the situation.
In an Instagram post last week, SZA spoke on the situation and explained, "Ive been troubleshooting for a while now and usually steroids and pushing through help. They don’t this time. I’m not sick, my voice just won’t fucking work. If I don’t pause now I’ll be forced to pause permanently. I’m genuinely sorry for every face, voice,and energy field I won’t be touching! I’m literally taking as many steroids as I can to speed this up! Its a waiting game and super weird to be blamed for stuff outta my control but I get it!"
