Swedish DJ and producer Alesso has announced that he will significantly reduce the number of his performances in 2024. The decision comes after he developed hearing problems two months ago.
Alesso revealed that he woke up with severe ringing in his ears, a symptom of tinnitus, a condition that causes persistent ear noise. Many musicians face this issue due to prolonged exposure to loud environments.
To prioritize his health and recovery, the artist has decided to cut back on shows. While he hasn’t specified how long his break will last, he assured fans that his main focus is on healing and continuing to create music in the future.
His situation highlights the importance of hearing protection in the music industry, especially for DJs and producers. Performing at loud festival and club stages can lead to permanent hearing damage, something that has already affected several electronic artists.
At this point, it’s unclear which events will be canceled or rescheduled, but fans remain hopeful that Alesso will return to the stage once his condition improves.
