Moments before a show: Phoebe Bridgers hospitalized with appendicitis
Phoebe Bridgers was supposed to spend her 32nd birthday performing in London, but instead found herself hospitalized due to appendicitis. "I will make it up to you!" she promised her British audience, who were eager to see her following the release of her new album, Lost Weekend.
Phoebe Bridgers has postponed the shows she had scheduled for this week in the UK after being hospitalized on her 32nd birthday due to appendicitis. Bridgers updated her followers on her condition in an Instagram story on Wednesday, sharing a photo of herself in a hospital bed.
"I got appendicitis for my birthday, — Bridgers wrote to her followers. — Everything planned in the UK this week will have to move, but I will make it up to you!!!!"
Bridgers, a Grammy winner and member of the supergroup boygenius, celebrated her 32nd birthday on August 17. Before her hospitalization, she managed to perform two sold-out shows at the Union Chapel in London. In recent years, Phoebe Bridgers has transformed from a prominent figure in American indie into a globally recognized name. Her last solo album, Punisher, was released in 2020 to widespread acclaim, and in the years that followed, she was primarily focused on boygenius, her group with Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker, which released The Record in 2023 and won three Grammy awards. At the same time, she collaborated with artists including Taylor Swift and SZA. Her new album, Lost Weekend, marks her return to a solo career after a break of several years.
