Singer, Tekno, has explained his absence from the music industry.
In a recent interview, he revealed that being sick and receiving treatment for his vocal cord which got irritated meant that he had to go out of circulation for a while.
Detailing how his vocal cord packed up, the father of one said it all started at an event in Ghana, as he cracked his voice on stage on the night.
“I performed with Wizkid and Davido but somehow I cracked my voice on stage that night. So when I got back to the hotel, I told my guys I didn’t want to go out again because I really injured my voice and just wanted to rest.
“The next day, I had a show In Togo, I performed, still stressed the voice and came back to Lagos but it wasn’t getting better, so I went to see a doctor, he put a camera down my throat but he didn’t really see anything so he just gave me antibiotics and said I should be fine in a week or two but I didn’t get better and by this time I had started canceling shows.
“So I decided to fly to London, saw the first doctor and he said ‘your vocal cord is just irritated’ he gave me drugs and said I should be fine in about two weeks, but nothing changed.”

Tekno revealed that after his treatment in London failed, he had to fly to Los Angeles who diagnosed the same thing as the doctor in London.
Revealing that he had to get a surgery to regain his voice, Tekno said that having been operated by a robot, he now carries a magnet in his throat.
“The surgery option I opted for was the one that had to do with them putting a magnet inside my throat. The surgery was done by a robot; they cut me in five different places. After the surgery, I couldn’t move, I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t sneeze. It was hell.”
