Absolutely true. A great singer Steve Perry from Journey lost his gift of a voice. He'll never hit those high notes again. Oh, but in his vocal prime, he was unbelievable. Your voice truly is a delicate instrument. A single scream could change it forever. Vocal cords tear with stress causing nodules to grow. Joan Rivers is an example of what happens with chronic stress and overuse of the vocal cords.

I went to Power Trip, both Axel and Brian Johnson threw out their voices in the first 1 or 2 songs. I spent literally thousands of dollars on tickets and air BNB. The experience of the concert was great and size of crowd was amazing and support for metal, but both of them going out like that brought it all down to a 6/10 show in the end. Thanks to Judas Priest and Iron Maiden there was still an incredible show to be seen. I suspect Axel and Brian probably both didnt prepare nearly enough or had too much to drink.
