Duffy: What happened to Duffy? Star reveals why she disappeared from spotlight

Duffy – full name Aimee Ann Duffy – on Tuesday night issued a statement revealing the reason for her disappearance from the spotlight. The emotional statement is detailed in full below.

The Welsh singer wrote: “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.

“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.”
