Charli XCX is a performer who always gives her all when she's on stage. She's known for her wild and energetic Brat Tour, where she's been seen twerking, gyrating, and even bringing out surprise guests like Robyn. But all of this high-octane performance has taken a toll on her health, as she recently revealed that she's suffered nerve damage from her intense gigs.
The singer's live shows are no joke, with intense choreography and even dancing in the pouring rain. She's also been known to light up cigarettes on stage, adding to the wild and rebellious atmosphere. But these physical demands have caused Charli to experience nerve damage in her neck, something she never expected from her passion for performing.
"I've done a lot of physical damage to my body from performing," Charli shared. "Genuinely, physically, I have nerve damage in my neck from things that I've done onstage." It's clear that she puts everything she has into her performances, and she's proud of the energy she gives to her fans. But she also acknowledges the harm she's caused herself in the process.
Despite the physical toll, Charli's Brat Tour has been a massive success. Have you been lucky enough to attend one of her shows? Let us know in the comments! In a recent interview with Variety, she opened up about the sacrifices she makes for her performances, saying, "For me to give a performance that I feel is good enough, I have to really physically throw myself around - and that makes me very upset when I do it."
But Charli's dedication to her craft doesn't stop at her live shows. She's also been busy collaborating with other artists, including Lorde, on a remix of her hit album track "Girl, So Confusing." After years of being compared to the "Royals" singer, Charli finally got the chance to work with her and it was a dream come true.
"For 'Girl, So Confusing,' the second I wrote it, I was like, 'I need Ella [Lorde] to be on a remix of this song,'" Charli shared. "But I didn't know how to approach it because obviously it's a tricky situation." To her surprise, Lorde suggested adding a verse to the song and within a day, she had delivered an incredible verse that left Charli emotional.
The song's lyrics touch on the comparisons and similarities drawn between the two artists, with lines like "They say we've got the same hair / We talk about making music / But I don't know if it's honest." Charli admits that she used to feel insecure about these comparisons, but working with Lorde helped her to see that they are two completely different artists with their own unique styles.
In fact, Charli has been candid about her tumultuous relationship with Lorde, admitting that she used to be jealous of her success with "Royals" while she struggled to find success with her debut album, True Romance. "When 'Royals' came out, I was super jealous of the success that that song got and that Ella got," Charli shared in an interview with Rolling Stone UK. "You create these parallels and think, 'Well, that could have been me.' But it couldn't have, because we're completely different people."
It's clear that Charli is fiercely dedicated to her music and her performances, even if they come at a physical and emotional cost. But she wouldn't have it any other way. "But I also don't really sleep these days," she joked. "2020...um, what year is it? 2024 has not been a very restful year, for sure." We can't wait to see what she has in store for us next.
