Irish singer CMAT has postponed her sold-out UK tour, which was scheduled to begin on Thursday, due to a severe dental infection. The 29-year-old, whose real name is Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, revealed she is suffering from an infected wisdom tooth and requires surgery.
In a statement, CMAT explained that she woke up the day before the tour with 'throbbing pain in my jaw' and visited an emergency dentist. She has been booked for surgery to remove both lower wisdom teeth next week and has been prescribed antibiotics. The recovery period is expected to be two weeks, followed by additional time to regain full health.
All October dates have been rescheduled, and ticket holders are advised that their tickets will be valid for the new dates. Refunds are available for those unable to attend the rescheduled shows. CMAT apologised for the inconvenience, noting that she currently cannot open her mouth wide enough to sing.
Fans expressed their support on social media, with many wishing her a speedy recovery. CMAT's latest album, 'Euro-Country', was released on August 29 and reached number two on the UK albums chart.
