Especially when you’re a world famous comedian.

But that is the fate that has befallen Trevor Noah.

The Daily Show host ventured to South Africa recently to host the Global Citizens Festival which saw the likes of Beyoncé, Jay Z, Usher, Wizkid, Chris Martin, Pharrell, and Ed Sheeran perform as part of an initiative to eliminate poverty by 2030.

A combination of traveling and performing hosting duties during the 12-hour-long event meant that the 34-year-old — who previously revealed that he had bruised his vocal cords — lost his voice.

Doctors have ordered him to stay silent, warning that if he doesn’t give his voice a break, he might require surgery.

As a result, Trevor has now canceled his 8 remaining stand-up shows for the year and hosted Tuesday’s episode of The Daily Show solely through hand gestures as his news team read from his teleprompter!

Get well soon, Trevor!

The line-up for the show is set to include stars such as Ed Sheeran, Beyoncé, Jay Z, Pharrell, Wizkid, Usher, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Black Coffee, as well as other African artists.

Despite Mandela passing away 5 years ago, the “Formation” singer decided to write a letter to the late legend.

Referring to him by his African clan name “Madiba”, Beyoncé wrote, “It is an honor for me to travel to South Africa this week in celebration of you and your efforts to right so many wrongs. You were a strategic warrior, a bold activist, and charismatic and well-loved leader. Your vision for dignity, for human rights, for peace and a South Africa free of racism and apartheid, allows us all to turn dreams into reality.”

Praising Madiba, the singer wrote: “You made it possible for so many people like me to reject impossibilities and understand our capabilities in making lasting change in the world. The smallest efforts could change the trajectory for so many living in extreme poverty, facing injustices, the indecency of racism and fighting for their rights as humans.”

She ended off the letter with a promise, “I promise you that we have made your dreams our own. Your work and your sacrifices were not in vain,” before signing her name as Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.
