From nightmare to Duffy's comeback: How trauma and a kidnapping drove the music star away at the height of her career

Welsh artist Duffy, who achieved international fame with "Mercy" and "Rockferry" (winning a Grammy), disappeared from the stage in 2010 after her second album. In 2020, she revealed she had been kidnapped, drugged, and violently assaulted over four weeks, being transported against her will to a foreign country. After years of silence for fear of retaliation, she only filed a complaint when she was targeted by blackmail and an attempted break-in at her home. Fifteen years after her last public performance, Duffy officially returned to the stage with an intimate concert in London and announced new songs, as well as a documentary series on Disney+ that tells her story of overcoming adversity.
