Lindsey Jordan has rescheduled a string of Snail Mail tour dates due to upcoming vocal cord surgery. The trek was meant to kick off later this year, but will now commence April 5 following the operation. “I’ve been struggling with my vocal health more and more each year. I lose my voice after a couple days of singing,” Jordan wrote in a statement. “I went to see an ENT last week and they found massive polyps in my vocal cords (surprisingly from vocal trauma due to talking!! shocker lol) that need to be operated on to prevent permanent damage to my voice. The recovery time is three months/speech therapy and in an effort to make sure the rest of the tour can happen, I will be postponing our first US tour which was supposed to begin this week as well as our initial UK/Euro tour :(.” Find her rescheduled dates and full statement below.

Jordan’s forthcoming tour is in support of Snail Mail’s latest LP Valentine, which arrived earlier this month. She is currently working out the details for UK and European tour dates, which will also be rescheduled to allow her a full recovery. Her 2022 North American April and May tour dates will go on as planned with no changes.

Lindsey here. Unfortunately, with terrible news this time. I’ve been struggling with my vocal health more and more each year. I lose my voice after a couple days of singing. I went to see an ENT last week and they found massive polyps in my vocal cords (surprisingly from vocal trauma due to talking!! shocker lol) that need to be operated on to prevent permanent damage to my voice. The recovery time is three months/speech therapy and in an effort to make sure the rest of the tour can happen, I will be postponing our first US tour which was supposed to begin this week as well as our initial UK/Euro tour :(. I’m devastated to be pushing off shows even longer.  My team is working overtime to reschedule everything that we’re postponing—we will have everything rescheduled imminently. Thank you so much for all the support you’ve given the new record so far.
