Imagine Dragons’ Dan Reynolds Poses Shirtless To Update Fans On Recovery After Postponing Shows

Dan Reynolds, the lead singer for Imagine Dragons, has been recovering after both spraining his knee on tour and “struggling with hemorrhaged vocal cords and a nodule.” Because of these health concerns, the band decided to push back shows in Latin America they were supposed to be doing right this moment through November 4.

In the wake of the cancellations, Reynolds wrote on Instagram, “I’ve never canceled a tour in over a decade of touring. And only a few shows. My voice and knee are a little better every day thanks to rehabilitation and good doctors.”

He also added a thirst trap on his Instagram Story which showed his muscles and the knee brace he has to wear while he recovers from this sprain.

Like many bands, Imagine Dragons had been on an extended hiatus from performing during the Covid-19 pandemic. But now that a glut of artists are out on the road touring again, we’re seeing some acts that have been canceling shows because of either burnout or financial constraints.

Singer Santigold discussed these difficulties in a lengthy post after she announced the cancellation of her tour in September. She called the post-pandemic touring landscape a “new reality” and noted that when they began concerts “we were met with the height of inflation – gas, tour buses, hotels and flight costs skyrocketed.”

They also had less venues to choose from because of how many artists are touring now at once, according to Santigold. This means that if you aren’t one of the biggest touring artists right now like Bad Bunny, it may be much tougher to get a slot performing at a place you may have previously.
