Benson Boone at the O2 Arena: Popstar shares update on voice after cancelling Birmingham show

Benson Boone greeted fans post show in London despite being on vocal rest.

After cancelling his show in Birmingham last week due to illness, Benson Boone returned to the stage in London as he played his first of three back to back shows at the O2 Arena.

About an hour before his Birmingham show on Saturday (November 1), the US singer issued a statement on social media saying he was not able to perform as he was battling a sore throat.

The cancelled show came just days before his three massive concerts in London with fans fearing the capital dates could also be affected.

However he returned to the stage last night as he brought his American Heart tour to London.

Following the first London concert, the singer surprised fans waiting outside the venue with a brief appearance despite being on vocal rest.

In a clip shared by fans on TikTok the singer explained he wouldn’t be able to talk very loud and would meet fans quickly before getting some rest.

He added: “I gotta make sure I sleep because I'm really bad at sleeping and my voice is screwed up.”
