Blind Item #5

This British female singer who was everywhere a few years ago and seemed destined to be a superstar has crashed and burned mainly due to her love of heroin. She just can't stop for longer than a day and despite rehab and even a 24/7 minder she keeps relapsing. I just hope she isn't sharing needles too.

  2. Duffy is a good guess. Joss Stone is still working. Susan Boyle has to be the funniest thing I've read today.

  3. Just read up on Duffy. Think y'all are right. She seems to have been struggling with something. Flaking out on a lot of performances.

  4. Duffy was my first thought. Damn she's so talented too. I feel for her.

  5. Lily Allen had a child, so I doubt this is her. She also has never had the heroin junkie look.

    Duffy is a good guess. What a shame and waste.

  7. Lily Allen had two children and one of them was still born. Her disappearance has not been drug related. Plus she's about to release a new album.

    1. Ok, after some quick research I amend my answer to Duffy. According to Wikipedia she announced back in 2011 she was taking a two year hiatus from music. Who does that when they are at the top of their game and a shooting star? Obviously she has some other problems to deal with (drugs?)

  9. I sure hope it's not Joss Stone. But she's always had a little Janice Joplin vibe about her.

  11. Agree with the Duffy guess. Very sad if this is her.

    @Dude, Sade? Seriously? Jesus Quintana would fuck you up for that guess ;)

  12. Jessie J is on The Voice Uk. I don't watch it but I've seen a few clips. She seems healthy.

  13. Just thought I'd throw Adele out there

  14. Lily Allen is having babies and Joss Stone is considering my proposal to have several of my babies, so it's not either of them.

  15. Duffy doesn't look too healthy in recent pictures, very pale and somehow bloated.

  16. Jewel? She did a fast fade.

  17. Duffy was due to make a comeback last year just as a fire destroyed the penthouse she was staying in. Fire caused by something in the vents.

    Definitely seems like it's Duffy-
    "In September 2008, Duffy mentioned that she was "on the borderline of a nervous breakdown" because of the pressure that fame has brought her. She also said that she had considered becoming a recluse, but eventually decided against the idea for the sake of her fans. Although acknowledging that most people do mean well, she finds it "scary" when people recognise her in the street, and has been fearful of her image possibly changing the person she truly is." -Breakdowns, inability to deal with professional pressure, a touch of paranoia...

    "On 3 October 2012, Duffy escaped from a fire in the rented penthouse apartment in which she was living, in Kensington, London." ...an odd fire that no cause of ever seemed to be released, but stuff like that seems to happen a lot with more careless users. Plus she was said to be "dazed" as she fled the fire, although they're was no apparent physical danger that would cause that as she had the time & ability to retrieve her pets from the flat.

    Sad, I hope this is revealed so it might give her the motivation to get clean.

  19. British is a good clue. English would describe Lily, Leona, Joss but Duffy is Welsh so you'd have to say British because seriously, can you name another Welsh singer?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Tom Jones is the only other Welsh singer on the top of me head LOL

    Saw Duffy live at a music festival about 5 -6 years back very impressed - no lip synching there and her band was awesome, I think she was taken aback by the love from one of the first US crowds she'd appeared in front of - I bought her album shortly thereafter. If it is her hope she can get it all together before it's too late.

  21. @Cousin Eddy - "Who does that when they are at the top of their game and a shooting star?"

    Appears she was a shooting star in every sense.

    - other Weslh singers. Charlotte Church, Katherine Jenkins. Both would be amusing if it were then. Dame Shirley Bassey, less funny.

  22. I've got a Welsh singer: Ritzy Bryan of Joy Formidable. If you like Sonic Youth & want to hear them combined with The Sundays singer you've got Joy Formidable

  23. Who was the woman whose husband died? She was awesome and I think it was an over dose he died from.

    ReplyDelete
  24. @Elisha - Are you talking about Corinne Bailey Rae? I love her. Her husband, a trumpet player, died from an overdose. She released her last EP in 2011. I think her and Duffy are both good guesses.

  25. When I lived in Wales a few years ago, we saw Duffy play in a small club in Cardiff. She was fabulous. I'd hate it to be her.

  27. @KarenL Thank you! It was driving me nuts.

    I don't know this Duffy of which you all speak, so I'm going with CBR and I'm going to google Duffy.

  29. Corinne Bailey Ray. Her husband died from an OD and when it comes to drug addicts birds of a feather flock together as my mom always said.

    Sad because she was set to be the next big thing.
