Lewis Capaldi has cancelled 3 UK shows after he lost his voice and also to prevent long-term damage.

The Scottish singer-songwriter pulled out of Norwich’s EUA, Nottingham’s Rock City, and O2 Academy Sheffield. He lost his voice during his performance at Brixton O2 Academy. “Last night in Brixton was one of the hardest performances I’ve had to do and thank you so, so much to everyone that came down and helped out with the tougher parts of some of those tunes,” Capaldi wrote on Instagram.

Spotify viral artist Arizona Zervas climbs to the top 10 on the Hot 100 with his track Roxanne. The song jumped from No. 12 to No. 5.

The backstory: After a major label bidding war, the Spotify viral artist Arizona Zervas signed with Columbia Records. The war heated up after the success of his track ‘ROXANNE’ which grabbed the #1 spot on Spotify’s US Top 50. Apple followed suit and added the track to Today’s Hits playlist. The 24-year-old Arizona Zervas hails from Maryland and gained serious numbers on TikTok and YouTube before taking over Spotify.

The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP) named Scottland’s Lewis Capaldi the hardest working person in music. How do they arrive to the conclusion? It’s simple.
