Singer Demi Lovato, 30, announced on Wednesday (14) that she intends to retire from the stage. The devastating news to the artist’s fans has increased the number of celebrities who have decided to step away from screens or music since the beginning of the year. Among them are actors Bruce Willis, Steve Martin and Jim Carrey.
In the case of Demi Lovato, the announcement was made through her social networks, where she said that she is “sick as fuck, I can’t get out of bed. I can’t do this anymore, this next tour will be my last. I love and thank you for all of you”. The tour she refers to would be the “Holy Fvck”, with a repertoire based on her last self-titled album.
According to the website Deadline, the artist even posted another series of stories in which she said: “I’m going to get through this for you guys. I’ll need help singing, so sing it out loud for me”. And in a behind-the-scenes photo, the singer even wrote, “I practically have no voice, so I’m going to aim the mic a lot at the audience tonight.”
Other recently announced retirement cases also had health problems as motivation, such as Bruce Willis, 67, who was diagnosed with aphasia, a neurodegenerative condition that impairs communication, and cartoonist Angeli, 65, who also has the same disease.
Also on the list are actors Robert Redford, Steve Martin and Jim Carrey. “I never say never, but I’ve come to the conclusion that this is the end of acting, and that I’m on my way to retirement now, having been acting since I was 21,” said Redford, who left open the possibility of continuing to work as a director.
Steve Martin will step away from the big screen following the conclusion of Star Plus’ “Only Murders in the Building” series. “I’m not going to look for other movies. I don’t want to make cameos and this is, strangely, the end of it,” he told the Hollywood Reporter. Jim Carrey said he’s had “enough”. “I’ve done enough. I’m enough.” That’s why you shouldn’t make new movies until “Sonic 2: The Movie”.
In the song, Daddy Yankee, 45, famous for the hits “Gasolina” and “Yo Voy”, announced in March, through a video on his Instagram, that he will also retire. “This career has been a marathon and I finally see the finish line. Now I will enjoy everything you’ve given me,” he said.
