Meghan Trainor has become the latest big name to develop a haemorrhage on her vocal cords.

The singer has been forced to axe a couple of upcoming tour dates as doctors order her to rest.

The US songstress wrote on Instagram on Thursday (July 2): “I don’t want anyone worrying but I have had a hemorrhage on my vocal chords.

"Right now the doctors want me on complete vocal rest until they are healed so I have to postpone my first two shows in Atlantic City and Connecticut. I promise that I will make it up to my Megatronz. I have never missed a tour date before so this is killing me.

"I love you all very much and want to get healed quickly so I can show you this amazing tour we’ve been working on. I am truly sorry to everyone who has bought tickets and made travel plans. I hate this."

A silent Trainor later added a short video of herself showing text on her phone.

British star Sam Smith underwent an operation for a similar problem earlier this year.

Jess Glynne meanwhile was also forced into pulling shows to recover from the same issue.
