Duffy is set to make her return to live performance after a 15-year hiatus, with a much-anticipated concert scheduled in London. The 41-year-old singer, who recently announced her comeback following a traumatic incident involving rape and abduction, has now confirmed that the intimate show will take place on July 5 in the UK capital. Fans can secure free tickets by participating in a ballot for a chance to attend the limited-capacity event.

Through her Instagram stories, Duffy emphasized that tickets for the gig cannot be purchased and must be obtained through the ballot system. Addressing her followers on social media, she expressed her excitement about the upcoming performance and invited them to sign up for a chance to be part of the exclusive audience. She also hinted at performing new music during the event, marking her first musical endeavor in 16 years.

In an earlier announcement signaling her return to the music scene, Duffy shared a studio photo on social media, expressing her eagerness to reconnect with her fans. The singer, known for her acclaimed debut album “Rockferry” released in 2008, had withdrawn from public life unexpectedly, leaving her admirers puzzled. However, in 2020, she disclosed the harrowing ordeal of being drugged and sexually assaulted, shedding light on her prolonged absence.

Detailing the traumatic experience on her website, Duffy recounted being drugged on her birthday, enduring weeks of captivity and assault in a foreign country, and eventually returning home with the perpetrator. The singer’s candid revelations about her ordeal, which led to her retreat from the limelight, resonated with many supporters who showed empathy and support for her journey to recovery.
