Morgan Wallen is reportedly recovering from multiple injuries

Morgan Wallen is recovering from more than just the vocal trauma. The singer also suffered a injury to his lat muscle while on tour in Australia last year. While announcing his six-week hiatus recently, the Last Night artist also reflected on this:

I also tore my lat while we were in Australia. I’ve been trying to work through that quietly, but this time off is gonna help me get that back right as well…

The singer also emphasized the necessity of giving his vocal chords rest later in the statement:

"They told me that if I do this the right way, that I’ll get back to 100%. And they also said that if I don’t listen and I keep singing and I’ll permanently damage my voice. So for the longevity of my career, this is just the choice I had to make. I hate it. But I love you guys and I appreciate all the support that you always give me."

The Everything I Love singer ended the statement by assuring his fans that he and his team are doing their best to reschedule the tour dates, and that he would be back on the festival circuit next year:

"We’re working on rescheduling all the dates during this time frame. We’ve almost got that done, but some of ’em are pending, so I’ll keep you updated. I won’t be able to make these festivals that I have during this timeframe, but we are gonna make those right in the next year"
