‘Serious Hemorrhage’ Leaves Star Unable to Sing
On Mute for 2 Weeks

Cody Simpson has suffered a major blow to his musical comeback — he’s suffering from a vocal cord hemorrhage, leaving him unable to sing and forcing him to cancel upcoming shows.
The Aussie pop star shared the news of his injury on social media Monday … telling fans he was overzealous in the studio and sang through a sinus infection he didn’t know he had. He explained he “assumed it was just fatigue and kept showing up to the studio until one day I could no longer sing.”
He noted he’s been on and off vocal rest for the last month, and was just prescribed another 2 weeks of silence in hopes of avoiding surgery. He said this has delayed his work on his upcoming album and new singles … but he’s doing all he can with instrumentals for the time being.
Cody kept things positive, concluding … “Where there’s a will, there’s a way. I’d like to bring you on the journey. I’ve been extremely up and down but am now reframing this as a realignment for the long-term good.”
Cody recently returned to music in March with singles “Baby Blue” and “When It Comes to Loving You” after taking a hiatus to work on his swimming career. He joined the Australian swim team in 2022 and competed in the 2023 World Cup. He represented Australia in the lead-up to the 2024 Paris Olympics, though he didn’t make the cut.
As you may remember, he originally rose to fame as a cover artist on YouTube in 2009 before becoming a full-blown teen heartthrob the following year, releasing his first single “iYiYi” featuring Flo Rida.
But he retreated from Hollywood in 2018. He notably dated Miley Cyrus from 2019 to 2020.
