As you know, Stevens voice is an instrument like no other, they wrote in a collective statement.
He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury.
Weve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side.

Sadly, it is clear, that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible.
But after just three shows, Tyler injured his larynx, and they had to postpone future dates.
I promise we will be back as soon as we can!
It ended in standard fashion with Dream On and Walk This Way.
At the end, he climbs on top of the piano to belt out the finale.
They even wheeled out a giant Aerosmith cake as Tyler led the entire arena in Happy Birthday.
There is he, right there, a living fuckin legend, Tyler said.
They had no way to knowing they were saying goodbye to the concert stage forever.
Could that mean they might work together again in the studio?
This is a song Tyler has performed more than 1,7000 times.
Most of us have probably heard it many more times than that over the years.
But re-watching that video, the familiar lyrics suddenly seem sad and poignant.
Every time that I look in the mirror, Tyler sings.
Everybodys got the dues in life to pay.
