Nelly Furtado announces she has quit music and performing amid ‘body shaming’ comments.
The singer has announced she will no longer perform and release music, after 25 years in the music industry.
“I have decided to step away from performance for the foreseeable future and pursue some other creative and personal endeavours that I feel would better suit this next phase of my life.
I have enjoyed my career immensely, and I still love writing music as I have always seen it as a hobby I was lucky enough to make into a career. I'll identify as a songwriter forever.”
Her announcement comes after a wave of online comments and media articles about her body and weight.
