The Canadian crooner said that he’s “especially sorry” to be missing the Canadian Governor General Performance Arts Award Gala, where he was supposed to be honoured, and the Marvin Gaye Tribute at the Kennedy Center in June.
Bublé will now be honoured a year later at the gala’s 25th anniversary on June 29, 2017.

“We look forward to welcoming him to Ottawa with his family in 2017 to receive the NAC Award,” Peter Herrndorf, the president and CEO of the National Arts Centre, said in a statement.
Typically, a vocal cord surgery patient cannot talk — or even whisper — let alone sing for at least one-to-two weeks post-surgery. Considering Burnaby, B.C. singer Bublé’s entire career hinges on his voice, a proper recovery is imperative.
Other famous musicians have recently undergone vocal cord surgery, including Adele and The Sound of Music‘s Julie Andrews.

While Adele’s surgery went swimmingly, Andrews’ operation was famously botched, ruining the soprano’s singing voice.
Bublé has sold more than 50 million records and is a Grammy and Juno Award winner.
