Welsh vocalist Duffy is making her return to the stage for her initial live performance in over 15 years, having ceased her musical career due to the trauma of a sexual attack and abduction. She's hosting a small gig in London on 5 July where she'll play new songs for fans who win a ballot to get tickets. Duffy became huge in 2008 with her album Rockferry but disappeared from public life until revealing her ordeal in 2020.
