Australian pop singer Cody Simpson hasn’t been able to “walk or talk” after suffering two horrifying back-to-back injuries while preparing his upcoming album. “The universe is serving it to me this year!” the 29-year-old teased in a Monday Instagram post about his run of bad luck. “I’ve been on and off vocal rest for close to 3 months trying to heal a damaged vocal cord,” Simpson said, referring to the vocal cord hemorrhage he suffered after singing through a sinus infection. According to the singer, his health deteriorated even further after he dislocated his knee while rehearsing for a new music video, which forced him to push back surgery on his ailing vocal cords. So for now, the singer and dancer says there will unfortunately be “no singing or dancing for months to come.” But the experience is one Simpson believes he needed. “I’ve been pushing my body and mind for years now non-stop and I’m taking time to reflect and understand this for what it is: forced rest,” the star reflected, adding the album and live shows will have to wait. “FYI, we still shot the music video,” Simpson concluded the shocking update, promising to come back stronger than ever.
