Irish singer CMAT has postponed her sold-out UK tour scheduled to begin on Thursday.
The performer, 29, whose full name is Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, told how she is suffering with an infected wisdom tooth.
She has had to reschedule all her October dates, explaining she woke up the day before the tour with ‘throbbing pain in my jaw’.
‘I booked an emergency visit with my dentist. He has booked me in for surgery to remove both lower wisdom teeth next week and given me antibiotics to help with the infection,’ she wrote.
‘I am told the recovery period for my surgery is two weeks to allow me to heal, with a following short period to allow me get back to full health.
‘We are working to reschedule dates and will provide information on this as soon as possible.

‘Your ticket will be valid for the rescheduled dates – if you’re not able to make the new date please contact your point of purchase for a refund.’
CMAT apologised for causing any inconvenience to her fans but added she currently can’t even open her mouth wide enough to sing.
She explained: ‘I realise that this will cause difficulties for so many of you who may have made plans to travel to these dates, and for this I can only say I am so so sorry.
‘If there was anything I could do I would do it, but I currently can’t even open my mouth wide enough to laugh let alone sing.
‘I also can’t even chew any food for the foreseeable so if anybody can send ice cream and or soup recommendations they would be hugely appreciated !!!
‘I am in so much pain right now that I can barely think straight enough to type. All I can do is lie in bed watching The Osbournes and dream about making it up to you all in the very near future. I love to sing so much ::((
‘RIP my back two wisdom teeth you would have loved brixton academy. Lots and lots of love, Ciara (cmat) x x x x x’.
Fans commented on the post and wrote: ‘I’m devastated I wish you a speedy recovery’… ‘We’ll see you when we see you!! Get well soon.’

In the early days of her career, CMAT began putting out self-released music that got radio play on BBC Radio 6.
Her debut album If My Wife New I’d Be Dead was released in 2022 and reached number one on the Irish albums chart.
Her latest album, Euro-Country, released on August 29, reached number 2 on the UK albums chart.
CMAT performed at Glastonbury earlier this year where she spoke with the BBC aboutg her experience with online fat shaming.
‘Every day, people will leave terrible terrible comments under my TikToks and posts and stuff,’ she said.
‘But they have their full face and full name attached to it. They’re just saying terrible things knowing that they’re backing it up with their online footprints.
‘I think a lot of people do it unaware that people are actually reading this stuff.’
