Overview
- Cody Simpson, who disclosed the injury Monday in an Instagram post, said a hemorrhage on one vocal cord left him unable to sing after he worked through an undiagnosed sinus infection.
- He has been on and off vocal rest for weeks and canceled planned TV and radio spots promoting his new single Baby Blue.
- Physicians prescribed another two weeks without speaking or singing in hopes that rest will heal the bleed and spare an operation with a longer recovery.
- While he recovers, he is in the studio writing lyrics on mute with collaborators and sketching vocal melodies on his guitar for later recording.
- Fans and fellow artists have sent support as Simpson’s comeback pauses; he released Baby Blue and When It Comes to Loving You in March and signed with BMG in partnership with Range Music after stepping back from competitive swimming.
