JAKARTA – Canadian veteran pop soloist Nelly Furtado decided to take a break from the stage. The 46-year-old singer announced through her social media account that she would withdraw from live shows to and concentrate on new creative and private businesses.
This decision was taken in line with Furtado’s reflection of how fans have re-established connections with his music in recent years.
“I decided to withdraw from the stage performance for the future and pursue several other creative and personal ventures that I think will be more in line with my next phase of life,” wrote Furtado, citing the caption of the upload, Monday, October 27.
Even so, Furtado insists that his love of music will never fade. He will continue to write songs as before.
“I really enjoy my career, and I still like writing music because I always see it as a hobby that is lucky enough for me to make my career,” he said. “I will identify myself as a songwriter forever.”
Meanwhile, this surprising announcement came to coincide with the 25th anniversary of his debut album, “Obviously, Nelly!”, which had reached its 24th position on the Billboard 200 chart in January 2001.
The upload features an old photo of Furtado at the age of 20, shortly before his first professional appearance attenuated Fair in 1999. Then the next slide features a video of his latest show in Berlin.
“My music has reached a completely new generation of fans, and I can’t be happier about it,” continued Furtado.
He also recalled his hopes as a young: “In 2000, I remember feeling like I had a goal with the hope that one day there would be a child cleaning up the blacklist of Nelly! In a cassette shop and considering it cool or inspiring. So, I can never guess that there will be so many new ways to find ‘old’ music in 2025!”
urtado described this experience as something real and full of joy. “The number of people who rediscover my music is a real and encouraging thing. It’s great to embrace this opportunity, get on stage again, and look closely at the true power of good music. It makes me truly believe in the magic,” he concluded.
