A year to heal
Last month, the interpreter of Nothing Compares 2 U revealed that she was entering a trauma and addiction treatment program for a year. She had also announced the postponement of her concerts scheduled for 2021 to 2022, specifying that she had gone through “six very traumatic years” and that her “healing” began this year.
Message for folks who have tickets for next year’s shows: those shows are being postponed until 2022 so that I may go into a one year trauma and addiction treatment program because I had a very traumatic six years and this year was the end of it but now recovery starts.
