Voyager’s lead singer diagnosed with cancer – European tour postponed!
As we all know, Voyager represented Australia in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool, and their entry “Promise” brought Australia back to the Top 10. The band was set for a European tour this autumn, however this tour has now been postponed, as the lead singer of Voyager, Danny Estrin has been diagnosed with cancer, and he requires immediate treatment.
Voyager were set to visit and perform in multiple cities in Germany, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom this October, and multiple venues have already been sold out. The concerts will be postponed for a year, and ticket holders can either keep their tickets, or request a refund.

Hi everyone,Danny here. Last week I was dealt some life-altering news: I’ve been diagnosed with cancer that requires immediate treatment. I am absolutely devastated that we cannot perform on our forthcoming European tour, especially after this incredible Eurovision year we’ve had. I am on strict doctors’ orders to not take this lightly, put my health first and get this sorted so we can be on stage again as soon as possible. This has been an extremely hard decision to make, but one that everyone will hopefully understand.At this stage, the tour will be rescheduled to October 2024 and we’d love fans to keep hold of their tickets where possible, but we understand if you prefer to request a refund; you can do so from your point of sale.Voyager will perform our last show for a while at the America’s Cup Event in Fremantle, Western Australia this Sunday 24 September 2023, so come and party with us before I start treatment.In the coming weeks I will focus on my health and family and ask that everyone please respect our privacy. I truly value and appreciate everyone’s support and understanding during this time.I’m surrounded by my incredible bandmates and team who are navigating all things Voyager whilst I am out of action.Love, your fierce friend Danny!
