RAPE HORROR DUFF Y: TALKING STILL TOO HARD Singer cancels tell-all interview

POP star Duffy has called off a tell-all interview about her kidnap and rape ordeal because it’s “harder than I thought” to talk about it.

The singer, 35, told fans she would speak more about the nightmare incident soon, but for now hoped a new song would “lift spirits” in the coronavirus pandemic. Duffy said on Instagram: “You may have read the words I wrote a few weeks back, I do feel freer. “Tried to follow up with a spoken interview, but it’s harder than I thought, I will follow up in writing soon.” BBC Radio 2 DJ Jo Whiley played Duffy’s new tune Something Beautiful on her show on Thursday night.

But the Welsh musician said she had no plans to officially release the track.

Mistakes

Poignant lyrics of the song include: “You bring me something beautiful, show me a way to bridge my mistakes.

“Show me this ain’t the greatest risk I ever take.

“Because I can’t steps to your love.”

Duffy, who shot to fame in 2008 take the first with her best-selling debut album Rockferry, disappeared from the spotlight in 2010 after her second release, Endlessly.

She claimed last month she had stayed away after being “raped, drugged and held captive over some days”.

Explaining her absence, Duffy wrote: “Many of you wondered what happened to me, where did I disappear to and why. A journalist contacted me, he found a way to reach me and I told him everything this past summer.

“He was kind and it felt so amazing to finally speak. You can only imagine the amount of times I thought about writing this.”
