On Friday, October 23, Slayyyter announced on Instagram Stories that she is canceling the remaining UK and European dates of her Wor$t Girl in the World Tour.

She wrote that after multiple doctor visits she has laryngitis and vocal cord tears, and has been ordered onto medication and full vocal rest for at least two weeks.

Billboard reports she pulled the plug after canceling a pair of shows earlier in the week, with Variety noting 10 more shows had been on the docket. Her last performance came in Paris on October 18.

What makes this remarkable for vocal-health watchers is the scale and finality: rather than pushing dates back a week or two, the singer cleared her entire 2026 performance slate to avoid what she called permanent damage to her voice.

Paste Magazine notes she had fully lost her voice before the Copenhagen and Hamburg cancellations on October 21.

The Needle Drop reports she had told fans through a private account before a Cologne performance, 'My voice is gone... but I refuse to cancel any shows' — making the total pullback a sharp reversal.

Pitchfork viewed the Instagram story in which she wrote she is 'heartbroken to share after multiple doctor visits i have laryngitis and vocal cord tears' and that she is 'forced to cancel the remaining UK/EU dates to avoid permanent damage to my voice.'

She acknowledged the fans' investment — 'some of you have traveled, some of you have made costumes' — and promised full refunds at point of sale. Rolling Stone reports that in total 11 dates were nixed, with her team already working to rebook the concerts for next year.

The tour was slated to resume Saturday, October 24 in Warsaw and run through November 5, according to Billboard. Variety lists the scrapped stops as Warsaw, Prague, Berlin, Antwerp, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Brighton and a closing night in London on November 5.

For a singer, the stakes could hardly be higher: she stated the rest was necessary to avoid permanent damage to her voice.

The same day's news cycle included Winger frontman Kip Winger telling SiriusXM's Trunk Nation, per Wide Open Country, that vocal cord paralysis nearly ended his touring career — a reminder of how these injuries can linger.

The development turned on a social post rather than a performance clip: Slayyyter's Instagram Story, amplified widely — Pop Base shared it to its own feed — is where fans first learned the UK/EU leg was over.

The message matters because it is the artist herself framing the cancellations as medical necessity, promising 'an even bigger and better show' on her return and thanking fans 'for making this tour so special.'

Despite the cancellations, her calendar beyond Europe remains intact. Pitchfork notes she is 'already working on rebooking shows for next year.'

Meanwhile, the companion album Wor$t Man in America — described by Variety as a counterpart to Wor$t Girl in America — arrives December 4 via RECORDS/Columbia Records, so the voice goes silent only until the music resumes.
