"As you might remember, last year I requested prayer for a vocal cord issue. After going on voice rest and a good bit of therapy, most of the issues seemed to clear up. But sadly just a few weeks ago, while working on new music, the concerns and issues all came back," says Luke Smallbone on the band's Facebook page. At that time Smallbone booked another consultation with his doctor. They came to the conclusion the best way forward would be surgery.
