Duffy Partners With New Management As She Prepares Comeback

Duffy is reportedly working with a new management team as she prepares for a possible return.

It was confirmed last month that the Mercy singer plans to step back into public view to share her story about the sexual assault and kidnapping that led her to step away from fame in 2011. She is expected to speak about the experience in a Disney+ documentary and is now believed to be working with a new manager from TaP Music, the company also known for representing Lana Del Rey and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.

The 41 year old singer has also reportedly brought back the same PR firm, MBC PR, that supported her during her rise to global recognition following her award winning 2008 album Rockferry. Some industry observers believe this could be an early sign that she may be preparing to release new music.

A source from within the music business told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Duffy's made it clear in the past that she did not intend to make a return to music, but things change behind the scenes.

"The new Disney+ documentary seems to be the first step in a long list of things that are being planned for Duffy.

"She wouldn't be taking on new teams if she didn't intend to step back into music, so the whole industry is abuzz with what she is planning.

"By the sound of it, there could well be new music from her before the end of the year."

Duffy largely stayed out of the public eye for close to ten years before finally speaking about what happened in a 2020 Instagram post. In that message she explained how she had been drugged, abducted and taken abroad where she experienced severe abuse and rape.

The Warwick Avenue singer is expected to share her experiences in greater detail for the first time through the Disney+ documentary, which promises "new, unprecedented access" to the Welsh artist as well as interviews with people close to her including friends, relatives and figures from the music industry.

Gill Callan, who is directing the project, said: "Duffy's life has been shaped by success and fame, but equally by pain, defiance and an irrepressible sense of self.

"I'm drawn to the tension between vulnerability and confidence in her story and how a person can be deeply affected by their experiences, yet still find a powerful, expressive voice that is unmistakably hers."

Megan Thee Stallion To Leave Moulin Rouge! The Musical Ahead Of Schedule

Megan Thee Stallion is stepping away from Moulin Rouge! The Musical earlier than expected, ending her run two weeks ahead of schedule.

In a statement released on Monday, the Savage rapper, whose real name is Megan Pete, confirmed that she will be wrapping up her time in the Broadway production sooner than planned.

Megan’s last performance in the role of Zidler is now set for May 1.

“It’s been such an honour to be part of Moulin Rouge! and I’ve met so many amazing people in this theatre! Y’all work so hard and I have so much respect for the dedication, the stamina, the work ethic, the time and the effort y’all put into the work!” she shared. “Every single person at the Moulin Rouge! has inspired me to go harder as an entertainer.”

She also took time to show appreciation for her fellow cast members and her fanbase, known as Hotties, for standing by her throughout the experience.

“I’m so grateful for the cast and crew that made this experience so meaningful. Y’all are really some of the kindest human beings I’ve ever met! To all the Hotties that showed up or planned to attend, thank you for supporting me during this incredible journey!” the 31 year old added.

Back in February, Megan revealed she would take on the role, originally named Harold Zidler, for a limited eight week engagement.

She made history as the first woman to step into the Zidler role, following performers such as Boy George, Eric Anderson and Bob the Drag Queen, who have previously portrayed the character.

Her Broadway run has unfolded alongside a series of personal challenges.

Earlier this month, the Hot Girl Summer artist was taken to hospital after falling ill during a performance, where she was treated for extreme exhaustion and related symptoms before returning to the stage days later.

Over the weekend, Megan also shared on Instagram Stories that she had split from Klay Thompson after nearly a year together.

In the post, the Texas native accused the basketball player of being unfaithful.

Representatives for Klay have yet to respond to the claims.
