Ella Eyre said she had to \u201clearn to speak again\u201d after having vocal cord surgery.<\/p>\n
The Waiting All Night singer said the experience made her want to perform\u00a0on her own terms, and she left her record company in order to release music independently.<\/p>\n
Eyre, 31, who has been in the industry for more than 10 years, told ITV\u2019s Lorraine: \u201cI feel like I\u2019ve grown so much as an artist.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt like it was time to put my own stamp on my own creativity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was the one thing I decided when I was recovering from vocal surgery: if I\u2019m ever going to sing again, I want to do it on my terms and I want to sing music that I love and that feels like it speaks to me.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to find my sound as a solo artist.\u201d<\/p>\n
Describing her recovery, Eyre said: \u201cI had to learn to speak again.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter the surgery I wasn\u2019t allowed to speak for a whole month; it was very difficult.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso you\u2019re not allowed to cry and you\u2019re not allowed to laugh, so all quite natural responses in that time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eyre said she is about to embark on a candlelight tour to perform acoustic versions of her songs.<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cI just thought what better way to celebrate my album than to strip it all back?<\/p>\n
\u201cNo bells and whistles, no pyro and outfit changes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just going to me and my band in these beautiful cavernous rooms like cathedrals, and with thousands of candles.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to be really beautiful and Christmassy.\u201d<\/p>\n
The four-date tour begins in Manchester on December 4th, with shows in London and Edinburgh before the final night at St George\u2019s Hall in Liverpool on December 13th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ella Eyre said she had to \u201clearn to speak again\u201d after having vocal cord surgery.
