Una famosa cantant revela la traumàtica experiència que la va fer abandonar el món de la música

El 2008 Duffy triomfava amb Mercy, una de les cançons més escoltades i recordades del pop britànic. Dos anys més tard, després de publicar el seu segon disc, l'artista es retirava dels escenaris i desapareixia del panorama musical sense donar explicacions. 


Alguns van pensar que s'havia cansat de la fama o que no havia rebut bé les males crítiques que va tenir el seu segon àlbum. La realitat, però, era molt diferent.
 
Duffy va abandonar el món de la música després de viure una experiència traumàtica que no s'ha vist amb forces d'explicar fins ara. 

"Vaig ser violada, drogada i segrestada durant dies. És evident que vaig sobreviure, però recuperar-me de tot allò em va portar un temps. Malgrat tot, puc dir-vos que després de milers i milers de dies desitjant sentir la llum del sol al meu cor novament, ara per fi, la noto", ha escrit la cantant al seu Instagram.

El seu post ha estat compartit milers de vegades i acumula centenars de missatges de suport.

You can only imagine the amount of times I thought about writing this. The way I would write it, how I would feel thereafter. Well, not entirely sure why now is the right time, and what it is that feels exciting and liberating for me to talk. I cannot explain it. Many of you wonder what happened to me, where did I disappear to and why. A journalist contacted me, he found a way to reach me and I told him everything this past summer. He was kind and it felt so amazing to finally speak. The truth is, and please trust me I am ok and safe now, I was raped and drugged and held captive over some days. Of course I survived. The recovery took time. There’s no light way to say it. But I can tell you in the last decade, the thousands and thousands of days I committed to wanting to feel the sunshine in my heart again, the sun does now shine. You wonder why I did not choose to use my voice to express my pain? I did not want to show the world the sadness in my eyes. I asked myself, how can I sing from the heart if it is broken? And slowly it unbroke. In the following weeks I will be posting a spoken interview. If you have any questions I would like to answer them, in the spoken interview, if I can. I have a sacred love and sincere appreciation for your kindness over the years. You have been friends. I want to thank you for that x Duffy Please respect this is a gentle move for me to make, for myself, and I do not want any intrusion to my family. Please support me to make this a positive experience.
