CMAT postpones October UK tour due to urgent wisdom tooth surgery

Irish singer CMAT announced on Wednesday that she must postpone her sold‑out October UK tour after waking with a painful, infected wisdom tooth that requires urgent surgery. The Dublin born musician, real name Ciara MaryAlice Thompson, said doctors have scheduled removal of both lower wisdom teeth next week and that she will need at least two weeks to recover, making her unable to perform the planned shows in London, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and Glasgow.

In an Instagram post, CMAT wrote that she had woken with a throbbing jaw and booked an emergency dentist appointment. "I currently can't even open my mouth wide enough to laugh, let alone sing," she wrote, adding that she had been prescribed antibiotics and was "so so sorry" to fans who had already made plans to attend. She also posted a photo of a swollen cheek and said she was in too much pain to focus, writing "I am in so much pain right now that I can barely think straight enough to type."

Organisers said tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled dates and that refunds will be available for those unable to attend new dates. CMAT said her team is working on new dates and will provide information as soon as possible....
