Nigerian singer Tems is going to take a break from music after being diagnosed with reflux laryngitis.

In a post the talented singer made on Instagram, it was disclosed that she has postponed her upcoming shows in line with the doctor’s directive.

Reflux laryngitis is an irritation in the back of the throat due to acid or other chemicals that come up from your stomach. This usually happens at night when you’re asleep. Other terms for this problem include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR), acid reflux, and chronic laryngitis.

“It breaks my heart to say this but there’s no other option for me.

I’m not feeling too good at the moment.

After my last performance, I was diagnosed with Reflux laryngtis and I have to take some time off to protect what’s left of my voice.

On the Doctors orders. I have postponed the two shows this week, the Birmingham show on the 15th and the first London show on the 17th.

The new dates for both shows will be announced tomorrow,” her post on Instagram reads.
