Just two days before her highly anticipated Glastonbury performance, Paloma Faith faced some unexpected health issues. The 42-year-old singer had to cancel her Friday concert and shared with her fans that she was "praying for good health."
Scheduled to perform on the iconic Glastonbury Pyramid Stage this Sunday, Paloma was looking forward to her set from 13:45 to 14:45, right before Shania Twain's Legends slot. However, her plans were disrupted when she fell ill just 48 hours before her performance at Worthy Farm. She was forced to cancel a show in Southhampton and expressed her disappointment to her fans on Instagram, explaining that exhaustion and catching illnesses from her children had severely affected her voice and range.
In a recent update, Paloma reminisced about her 2015 Glastonbury performance and shared a video clip on Instagram. She also mentioned her "fashion mistake" from that year and teased that she hopes to make it up this Sunday, now that she's in her "hot girl era."
After seeking advice from medical professionals, the Only Love Can Hurt Like This hitmaker was advised to rest her voice. She extended her apologies to her fans who had bought tickets and added that she was "gutted" she wouldn't be able to dance with them.
Despite the setback, fans are still hopeful for her appearance on Sunday and have been sending her well wishes on her social media posts. One fan commented, "So looking forward to seeing you back at Glasto tomorrow, hope you're feeling better," while another said, "Still so pretty! Hope you're ok for tomorrow."
Paloma was announced as part of the Glastonbury lineup earlier this year, alongside other big names such as Coldplay, Sza, and Dua Lipa. However, there has been some backlash towards the festival's lack of diversity in previous years, with predominantly white, male artists headlining. Paloma addressed this issue, saying that this year's lineup may be a "knee-jerk reaction."
She expressed her honor to be part of the festival, but also shared her concern that the inclusion of more women and non-white artists may not be a true representation of change. In an interview with Radio Times, she said, "What tends to happen is they'll diversify and include non-white races and women again, and everyone says, 'Isn't it great? We're progressing' - and then it goes back to white men again for years. I'll believe it when I see it."
In the end, Paloma reminded her fans that she's always open to hearing their stories and encouraged them to share them with her team. Whether it's a celebrity story, video, or pictures, she would love to hear from them. They can reach out through email, phone, or by visiting their Submit Stuff page.
