Cody Simpson, a 29-year-old Australian singer and Miley Cyrus’s ex-boyfriend, had been dealing with an injury that was already costing him dearly: a hemorrhage in one vocal cord, caused by singing with a sinus infection he didn’t even know he had. He had spent three months on intermittent vocal rest, waiting for surgery to recover. 🎙️
But before that operation, while rehearsing choreography for a new music video, he dislocated his knee. So, without planning it, he went from one injury to two. He shared it himself on Instagram on June 30: he can’t walk or speak for a while, and he won’t be able to sing or dance for months. 🦵
His new album and his live shows are now on hold just when they had the most momentum, after releasing ‘Baby Blue’ and ‘When It Comes to Loving You’ in March. Simpson, who in February also ended a four-year relationship with Olympic swimmer Emma McKeon, is now facing this forced pause alone. 💔
