Reports claim that Smith tries all other alternatives before opting for surgery. Apparently, the ‘Stay With Me’ singer gave his voice complete rest for ten days, however, despite that when his condition did not improve, he decided to go for surgery.

However, all Smith fans take heart! Several pop stars have suffered vocal hemorrhage in past and have managed to not only sing but also have a perfectly good career. Reportedly, Ariana Grande and Adele also happen to among them. If Smith’s Twitter feed is anything to go by the singer seems to be in United States currently and will probably get his surgery done there. As his entire career is riding on his voice, Smith is obviously extremely stressed about his situation. Reportedly, the singer is getting rashes all over his body due to stress. However, if the surgery goes well (and we hope that it would) Smith will be back on stage in about 8 months time, as the singer promised his fans. Read more here.
