Welsh singer Duffy says she will return to performing with her first live concert in more than 15 years. Multiple outlets report that the singer, now 41, makes the announcement after withdrawing from public life following a sexual assault and kidnapping ordeal that she said involved being drugged and raped. BBC News and other publications say the concert is her first live show since stepping away from the spotlight after the assault. Several outlets add that the comeback show will be an intimate, “secret” gig in London, where she plans to perform new music. Reports from the Evening Standard and NME state that fans will be able to apply for tickets through a ballot. The Mirror and Independent also note that she largely disappeared from the public eye after a second album release in 2010, and that her announcement comes as she prepares for the upcoming performance. The details vary slightly across coverage, but all accounts describe the event as a first live appearance in the mid-2010s era and link the comeback to her earlier decision to leave public life after the allegations she previously described.
