Duffy announces first concert in 15 years

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.
