Duffy has returned to the stage with a small private show in London, marking her first full live performance in about 15 years.
The Welsh singer invited fans to apply for entry to the July 5 event through a social media lottery, where she said she would perform new material. The low-key setting kept the focus on the music rather than a large public comeback.
Duffy rose to international attention in the late 2000s with songs including Mercy and Warwick Avenue. Her debut album, Rockferry, became a major commercial success and earned her a Grammy Award.
She stepped away from public life for many years and later shared that she had survived a serious traumatic ordeal. Since then, her appearances and updates have been rare, making this show a notable moment for longtime listeners.
The performance suggests Duffy is reconnecting with music and fans at her own pace. No full tour or album release has been announced.
