Toyah has been forced to delay a bunch of live shows after testing positive for coronavirus. 

The singer has moved a handful of dates to 2022 after being struck with Covid during a soundcheck this week.

“I’ve tested positive for Covid. Last night during soundcheck at The Robin in Wolverhampton,” she explained in a video shared to social media. 

Unfortunately #Toyah is unable to perform several upcoming gigs.
⁣
Four dates have been rescheduled & tickets remain valid. Apologies for the short notice/inconvenience.

“I realised I’d lost my sense of taste and my sense of smell and I took three tests on the spot, and two were positive, one was negative.”

The punk icon later took a PCR test and the result confirmed she was positive for Covid, meaning she’ll now isolate for 10 days. 

“I cannot put any of you at risk – I just cannot do that – so everything has been rescheduled.”

The new dates are as follows:

15 January 2022 – Huntingdon Hall, Worcester
16 January 2022 – Robin 2, Bilston
22 January 2022 – The Festival Drayton Centre, Market Drayton
10 February 2022 – Haselmere Hall, Haselmere

Earlier this year, Toyah returned with ‘Posh Pop’, her first album in 13 years, which scored the singer her highest chart placement of her solo career.

In our review of the album, Retro Pop said ‘Posh Pop’ “embodies the essence of pop music” and is “a body of work that stands amongst the best of her career”.

‘Posh Pop’ is available on CD, CD+DVD and vinyl.
