"It's essentially choking me whenever I go to sing the way I'm used to."He told fans that he was working with a vocal coach but said the ordeal had taken a mental toll on him.
"I pride myself on showing up and giving my all for anybody who's there so it feels incredibly disarming and frustrating to be restricted in doing that. "This is a mental challenge just as much as it is a physical one and it's hard to stay positive at all times."Dozens of fans responded to the post with messages of support – but many couldn't help remarking on his flowing script. "That handwriting, wow," commented one. "CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT HOW BEAUTIFUL YOUR HANDWRITING IS AH," wrote another. "Your lyric books must be so beautiful!," said a third. You have the most beautiful handwriting I've ever seen." Just as well that Dermot is looking after himself as he has a busy few months to come. He's just announced more festival dates across Europe for later in the summer and is due to play Electric Picnic at the end of August. His debut album Without Fear is set for release on 27 September.
