Joyce Manor postpone shows after Barry Johnson tears vocal chord
Joyce Manor are on tour with Militarie Gun, Teen Mortgage, and Combat now, but they’re postponed their shows in Toronto and Detroit while vocalist Barry Johnson recovers from a tear in his vocal chord. Johnson announced the news on the band’s social media (where he also shared a photo of the tear), writing:
I woke up super sick before our new york show so we had a doctor come out and give me a steroid shot to reduce the swelling in my vocal chords. this did the trick mostly and i was able to make it through the new york show but my voice felt pretty rough. woke up the next day in buffalo and couldn’t even talk. spent all day steaming my voice and trying to get it to come back because i didn’t want to cancel the show. my bandmates and tour manager all suggest we cancel but i was stubborn about it and thought i could just hack some shit up and pull it off. i couldn’t and my voice was totally fucked up for the show. sounded awful, felt even worse. we haven’t played a headline show in Toronto since 2022 and it was really hard to make the choice to postpone but my voice was totally shot. I went to a doctor yesterday and they confirmed i have a tear on my vocal chord. they said it’s not a super big deal and gave me a steroid and put me on vocal rest for the next few days. They said that if i sing before it’s healed the tear will worsen and lead to scarring which is permanent (think Liam Gallagher now vs the 90s) I’m really sad that we have to postpone toronto and detroit but I don’t wanna fuck my shit up permanently. I appreciate everyone’s understanding. I have felt like i’m living in a stress dream letting the other bands and all our fans down the last two nights. I love you guys and hope to be singing by the chicago show
Feel better, Barry!
We caught the NYC show on Tuesday, and you can see pictures from that by Rob Menzer below.
Speaking of Militarie Gun, they just shared a new Tiny Desk Concert, where they perform a bunch of songs from their 2025 sophomore album God Save the Gun and their irresistible 2023 track “Do It Faster.” Watch that below.
