After breaking out with a Top 10 finish at Eurovision and the ARIA-topping album “Fearless in Love”, Voyager were dealt a cruel twist of fate last fall when vocalist, keytarist and founding member Daniel Estrin was diagnosed with cancer.
While Danny’s chemotherapy treatment has been very effective, his cancer is the most aggressive mutation. His medical team will continue fortnightly chemotherapy for the foreseeable future, which makes touring impossible. As a result, Voyager has made the collective decision to cancel all European & UK tour dates in 2024 to ensure focus is on Danny’s recovery and continuing the positive medical progress that he’s made.
Voyager promises to stay active this year. With Eurovision exhibitions at various museums, media appearances and growing Patreon, 2024 promises to be a creative year for Voyager. Danny attributes so much of his positivity to the incredible support from the band’s fanbase over the last few months and Voyager extends their thanks to everyone for understanding this very difficult decision.
“Dear extended musical family”, writes Voyager. “We have to share some bittersweet news with you all today. The good news is that Danny’s chemotherapy is working, the bad news is that we have made the decision to cancel all 2024 live performances in order to allow the chemo to continue working its magic, with the hope that Danny can continue to #fvckcancer and regain his strength. You’ve all been incredible, and we didn’t make this decision lightly. We will continue to be active as a band in other ways and we appreciate your continued support. While we can’t tour right now, we have many other things in the works and 2024 still promises to be an exciting year for us as a band, and the creative juices are flowing. We apologise again for not being able to make it to a city near you this year. We love you all”.
