I would just be happy to know that his voice is okay, that he didn't do something to his vocal cords.

Don't know if he is sick or not. But, if he is, that's kinda a no win situation. It is ingrained in a performer not to show weakness or illness on stage. "The show must go on" is a mantra. Part of it is to psych yourself up to get thru the show. Part of it is to "fool" the audience. If they know there is a problem for the performer, they tend to look for signs and see/hear them whether they are there or not. They expect a sub-par performance and then find evidence to support that. If they don't know there is a problem, they usually don't see any problems.
It would seem to be logical to confess to the problems at the end of the show. However, audience members who were happy with the performance sometimes then go back in their memories and find fault with it in retrospect. While you would think the audience would be sympathetic, and some are, others somehow feel they have been short-changed and even want refunds.
The commonly held wisdom is not to mention any problems beforehand, or immediately following a performance. Just go out and do the very best you can and keep smiling. Only after time has passed will performers confess to their struggles .... if then.
Just sayin'.

It would be just weird to have an announcement at the beginning saying so-and so is sick but they're going to come out here and give you what might be a so-so show. Probably the people griping about the length of the show and the lack of an encore would still be griping. It sounds like there were a lot of people who were happy with the show. Like I said up above, I would just be happy to know that his voice is okay!
