A little update today from my side of the pond to yours. First off I want to thank the promoters who have been quick to reschedule with my agent for next year since the 2024 tour was postponed. Tomorrow I will be announcing some of the shows we have confirmed so far for 2025. I also want to thank the van rental company, hotels/airbnbs, and the rehearsal room for all working quickly with me and my agent to cancel and refund as much as possible so that I would not lose as much money since the tour postponement. I feel very blessed that so many people in the situation behaved professionally and acted quickly and kindly to make things go as smoothly as possible. My health feels fragile right now, and although treatment is making a difference I know I have still a long ways to go and perhaps this is an opportunity to look at many aspects of my life and what needs to change or be adjusted. I remember being young and it felt like nothing could touch me, I felt invincible and my body seemed to be able to take every test I put it through emotionally and physically, but now I can feel my body telling me it's tired and worn out from the road, the traumas, the stress and more, so I must listen to it and do what I can to heal and rest. However I truly believe everything happens for a reason, and this postponement brings with it the opportunity to make some changes in who I do business with and how I do business, so I look forward to come back stronger in 2025 with a new team of people who I feel have faith in me and my talents. I believe we are only as good as the team who stands with us on, and off stage. A fan who has known me a long time wrote me yesterday, and reminded me that I told him 15 years ago when we met that I wanted to make an album every year, and when I look back and realise I have basically done that with my discography I feel proud and driven to create more. So during my time off from the road I plan to start songwriting for my next studio album which I hope to record next year or in 2026 if I can raise the funds. I will never stop, I will only get better, and like the phoenix, be reborn again. Love to those who continue to support me and my music, Layla 🔥
