Nelly Furtado Steps Away from Live Performances to Focus on New Creative Paths

Canadian music star Nelly Furtado announced she would stop performing live on her 25th anniversary. Wow, Nelly! Important message. The singer appears ready to start new artistic and personal projects in a new period of her life.

After twenty years in the business and songs like “I’m Like a Bird” and “Promiscuous,” Fugazi said she enjoyed every performance. Stage work is excellent, but she wants more work that makes her feel good about herself as an artist and person. The award-winning singer said music constantly speak to her.

With her first album since 2017’s The Ride, Furtado’s career took off in 2024. The name was 7. New and old fans enjoyed her unique voice on the record, rejuvenating streaming services. Her old songs were still being played, which she found “surreal and joyful”. She thought it was great and liked how her music touches all ages.

August 30 marked her last live performance at Munich’s Superbloom 2025. Furtado thanked her friends and collaborators after the concert. She persisted in being hired.

Despite not acting, Nelly Furtado affected pop culture. Her departure indicates artists value health and creativity over travel. She will be missed, but her art and singing will continue.
