Harvey Blumler of Prospa Pauses Touring to Address Ear Health

Harvey Blumler of Prospa Pauses Touring to Address Ear Health

Following a debut album release, half of the Leeds duo steps back from the booth to recover from recurring ear injuries.

Harvey Blumler is taking an indefinite break from performance. After six weeks of managing perforated eardrums and persistent infections, the Prospa co-founder confirmed that continued touring has obstructed his recovery. Specialists have advised immediate rest to avoid permanent damage. This follows a period of heavy momentum for the duo. Their debut album, 'FREE YOUR MIND,' recently arrived via CircoLoco Records, solidifying their high-energy blend of rave and house. The health of the artist now takes priority over the release cycle. All scheduled Prospa dates will proceed as planned. Gosha Smith will handle the tour as a solo act while Blumler focus on healing. The duo anticipates a return to full strength once the specialist clears Harvey for the high-decibel environment of the club. Blumler is not alone in this struggle; Purple Disco Machine recently sidelined shows for similar auditory issues. It serves as a stark reminder of the physical cost of the road and the necessity of hearing protection for both artists and crowds.
