SZA has announced that she will be taking a break from live performances following her appearance at the Osheaga festival in Montreal, Canada, on August 4, 2024. The 34-year-old singer shared her decision on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Yesterday was my last show for a while. Finally bout to get my life together thank u God.”
In her post, she expressed gratitude for her fans’ support and acknowledged their energy. “This makes me so happy cause that’s all I’m tryna do!! I jus wanna capture yalls energy mix it up w mine add some love and throw it back. All within 90 mins… I love you,” she wrote.
This year has been significant for SZA, including a headlining performance at Glastonbury Festival in June, where she admitted to being “so nervous” before stepping onto the Pyramid Stage. She expressed her gratitude to the audience, saying, “I’m so grateful, you have my deepest love and my deepest respect. I love you always, god bless you. Get home safely, my name is SZA, good night.”
SZA has been candid about her struggles with mental health and the pressures of fame. She recently shared that she is working with three different therapists and is focusing on her “spiritual hygiene.” In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, she discussed her challenges with the spotlight and the impact it has had on her well-being. “I was having a lot of lashing out and a lot of frustration. And there’s a lot of opinions, a lot of entitlement to your space, a lot of entitlement to your time, a lot of expectation,” she explained.
