A vocal cord injury has taken away what Steven Tyler, the iconic American singer-songwriter of Aersomith fame, perhaps enjoyed the most in his career: stage performances. Tyler, 76, fractured his larynx in 2023 during a tour, and he hasn’t yet recovered from the injury. There’s also “My heart will go on” Celine Dion, whose singing career has been affected by a Stiff Person Syndrome, a neurological condition that causes stiffness and muscle spasms. In India, famous playback singer Alka Yagnik most recently suffered a sudden sensorineural hearing loss, which led her to direct people’s attention to the health risks of the music profession.

Musicians across the world suffer from health problems, including noise induced hearing impairment, musculoskeletal disorders, and even respiratory disorders, according to a research published in the Acta dermatovenerologica Croatica journal in 2005. Health Shots reached out to some Indian singers to understand the health problems of a music artiste.

“I have often suffered from laryngitis (an inflammation of the voice box) due to my vocal cords getting strained, especially during back-to-back shows,” says the Sajnaa hitmaker. When she does shows, there is extensive travelling and due to a lack of sleep, her health takes a hit. The singer and composer also experiences acute foot pain, as she performs in heels. “Due to this, I have developed a condition called the bunion (a bony bump that gets formed on the joint where the big toe meets a person’s foot). My advise for good vocal health is to avoid speaking too much and not using headphones much,” says Kashyap. She thinks drinking warm water with turmeric first thing on the morning, and doing yoga can help.

The Vaaste singer, who is 26 years old, makes sure not to go “too loud” while using headphones. “I prefer headphones over earphones, as the headphones are not really placed inside the ear,” she says. But while rehearsing for dance-led music videos, sometimes, she goes a little overboard. “During (her latest song) Thank You God, I was doing lifts. At the time, I pulled my hamstrings. It has been weeks, but I am yet to recover,” says Bhanushali. She also feels that “performance anxiety is a thing”. Whenever she is in front of people, she gets really worried for the first few minutes. “It gets to me because it’s not like a normal scenario. You have to entertain thousands of people. You have to forget your inhibitions, but sometimes it gets hard,” she adds. While Dhvani believes time and experience make it better, she often finds comfort in reminding herself of her love for music.
