“I started miscarrying before the show, I knew. And I was in a really tough position because it was really early on in my career and there was a lot attached to the show.”
They continued: “There was a corporate partner, there was a greater media entity partner, but more importantly than that to me, there (were) a thousand kids who waited all day long to get into this show and see me.”
The Without Me hitmaker, who has spoken openly about experiencing fertility issues, has suffered two miscarriages.
After the miscarriage at the concert, the singer simply got on with the tour.
“I left the stage, threw up in the parking lot, went to a hotel and was sick all night, I sat in a bathtub as I didn’t know what to do with all the blood,” they said.
“Then waking up at 5am or 6am in the morning to get onto another aeroplane to get to Canada. I was bleeding for hours.
“I just felt so alone … I had two within the same year. And I remember thinking to myself, ‘I’m just 20 years old. I should be able to carry a baby’. I didn’t want to be pregnant. I was way involved in my career.”
Following the miscarriage, the singer finally welcomed son Ender in 2021.
