After a few intense months of touring, T-Pain is taking a hiatus from music to rest his vocal chords. He reveals he was ordered by a doctor to take break from music to avoid damaging his vocal cords for good.

“The truth of the matter is, I haven’t been taking good care of myself,” he explains in the Instagram video. “After my last couple of shows I started getting a few pains in my throat and I went to my doctor.”

“And yeah, he basically told me that I had to get off the road immediately or I’m going to start permanent damage to my voice,” he continues. “And if you know what I do, you know that’s the most important part of what I got going on.”

“Sorry guys. I’ll be back out there soon,” T-Pain captioned the video. “Take care of yourself out there. My apologies to all the schools and venues. I wanna be 100% on that stage and give my all but I wouldn’t be able to in my current condition. Rescheduling is happening as we speak. Thank you for understanding. Again, my sincere apologies. Pizzle.”
