Eros Ramazzotti Had Vocal Cord Surgery, Tour Postponed
The Italian singer underwent vocal cord surgery and thanked fans for their support on Instagram. His North and South American shows have been pushed back to next year.
Eros Ramazzotti has had vocal cord surgery. The Italian singer confirmed the news himself on August 26, in an Instagram post written in Italian, Spanish and English, thanking fans for their messages of support. The operation was followed by a prescription for months of rehabilitation, which forced him to push part of his “Una Storia Importante World Tour” back to 2027.
“The vocal cord surgery went well. Thank you all for your messages of support and love.”
Ramazzotti shared that message in three languages at once, a clear sign of how much he wanted the news to reach fans around the world.
What exactly got pushed back
The rehabilitation means Ramazzotti won’t be able to get back to rehearsals or the stage as quickly as originally planned. The North American and Latin American legs of the tour, which were set to begin this summer, are the hardest hit.
“My doctor has prescribed rehabilitation, so I won’t be ready for rehearsals and performances in the US, Canada and Latin America. We’ll have to wait until 2027.”
The singer made that clear in the same post, telling fans on the other side of the ocean that their meeting with him is being delayed, not cancelled.
According to Telegraf, the shows were due to open on October 16 in Toronto, followed by concerts in Boston, New York, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles. The tour was then set to continue through Latin America, with stops in Mexico, Colombia, Chile and Brazil. All of those dates are now waiting on a new schedule.
When does Ramazzotti return to the stage?
Under the new schedule, Ramazzotti returns to the stage on April 1, 2027, with a concert in Luxembourg. The postponed American shows begin on September 24, 2027, again in Toronto, and the tour then moves through North and South America until November 9, 2027, when the final concert is set to take place in São Paulo.
Fans in Europe, who last saw the singer live only two months ago, were surprised by the news, since preparations for the next leg of the tour had been underway for weeks. The European leg officially wrapped up on June 27, 2026, with Ramazzotti performing in Paris, Brussels, Barcelona and Madrid, as well as at major stadiums including Milan’s San Siro, followed by Naples and Rome.
It was a genuine marathon, one concert after another, city after city, with no sign beforehand that health issues might get in the way of the rest of the plan.
Not the first time his vocal cords have failed him
This isn’t the first such break in Eros Ramazzotti’s career. He faced a similar problem in May 2019, when swelling on his vocal cords forced him to temporarily halt his world tour at the time, “Vita ce n’è”. Then, as now, he returned to the stage after recovering and went on performing around the world.
News of the new surgery was first reported by Telegraf on the evening of August 26, and picked up by the magazine Novosti on August 28, which also cited Italy’s Rai News as saying the singer genuinely needs an extended period without rehearsals or performances.
There’s no word yet on whether European fans, who have already seen the tour through to its end, will get additional dates in 2027. What is certain is that Eros Ramazzotti spoke up himself, without intermediaries, getting his message to fans before speculation about the reasons for the delay reached the media. Judging by the comments under his Instagram post, fans on social media welcomed the move, with most wishing him a speedy recovery and saying they’re willing to wait until 2027.
Until then, “Una Storia Importante World Tour” remains an unfinished story, one with a clear restart date and a singer who, at least by his own account, is determined to return to the stage stronger than before the surgery.
