Native Young^ZA

Statement der Band zur Absage des Konzerts:
«It’s with a heavy heart that we have had to make the decision to cancel our upcoming show dates in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. I (Yannick) damaged my vocal cords on our last tour and have been undergoing intensive voice rehab since to heal. Unfortunately I had a recent infection of my throat which has led to my vocal cords becoming inflamed and strained. After being examined by my doctor this week I have been advised that as a result my recovery has been delayed and I will need to do further voice therapy - including a small surgery next month. The specialist ENT (Ear, Nose & Throat) doctor advised that going on tour would pose a serious risk of permanent damage to my vocal cords and could potentially result in me even losing my voice. He has advised a minimum recovery and rest time of 6 months before touring again which he is positive will allow my vocal cords sufficient opportunity to fully recover. With my voice as my tool in this life and my sacred vehicle for expression - I trust you can understand the decision and that health comes first always. I’m heartbroken we can’t perform for you but we are looking forward to a much bigger tour next year where I can give you the full spectrum of love and energy you deserve! I plan on spending the upcoming months healing and making my voice stronger than ever and I’ll be using the time to finish production on a brand new Native Young album … stay tuned! Thank you for your patience, support and understanding. I look forward to seeing you on the other side with a golden voice and fresh new music!

All my love
Yannick»

Angefangen als Experiment in den Townships von Kapstadt, hat sich Native Young um den Songwriter und Produzenten Yannick Wilde zu einer besonderen Gruppe mit Talenten aus allen Bereichen des Lebens entwickelt. Ein Chamäleon aus ständig wechselndem Sound – eine Fusion aus hymnischem, erhebendem Gesang, elektronischem Folk und rauen afrikanischen Rhythmen. Das Debütalbum «Killing» wurde an den South African Music Awards für das «Best Alternative Album» ausgezeichnet. In der nahen Zukunft wird Native Young eine Sammlung neuer Singles vorstellen und sich mit den alten und neuen Schätzen auf Tour in Europa begeben.
