The singers Jorge and Mateus announced last Monday (9) that they will hold a break from shows after finishing your next tour — action that is becoming increasingly common in the world of music .
In addition to the country folk, other artists took breaks in their careers both to take care of their mental health and to rest after many years on the road. See some musicians who took time off the stage .
Zé Neto & Cristiano
The duo’s concert schedule was interrupted at the end of August 2024 so that the first voice could undergo treatment for depression and panic syndrome.
The initial forecast was that the singers’ absence would last 90 days, but it lasted 113. They announced their return to the stage for the beginning of December and confirmed the performance dates for 2025.
However, upon their return, they will reduce their concert routine — starting in January, the musicians will perform 12 performances per month in an attempt to guarantee a better quality of life. Previously, they performed, on average, 30 shows per month.
Sandy
The singer performed her last show before the hiatus began in her career in June 2024, when, through tears, she said: “Thank you for being so special, for understanding me and my moments. I know that sometimes it’s not easy being a fan of mine. I know, but we’re together, okay? I’ll be there in a little while.”
She did not give a timetable for her return to the stage, but announced an exception to her break to take on a program at Multishow — a musical series that will mix music and good stories, according to her.
Wesley Safadão
Safadão took a break from his show schedule due to “health problems”. According to the singer’s press office, the departure was due to very strong anxiety attacks.
During a show in the city of Natal (RN) a few days before the announcement of the interruption of performances, Wesley said that he hadn’t been well lately, and that he hadn’t slept properly for two or three days.
After his return, he used his social networks to say that he will make a drastic reduction in his concert schedule. “I’m going to go from an average of 250 shows a year to around 50 shows a year,” said Safadão.
Lucas Lucco
In December 2023, the singer took fans by surprise when he announced a career break to take care of his mental health. Through a statement, he revealed that he suffers from BAD (Bipolar Affective Disorder) and that the intensity of the crises had increased.
Before that, the singer had already spoken out to update his followers about his emotional state.
THE CNN Lucas Lucco said that the affair with a gym franchise was one of the reasons for his worsening mental health. He said he spent “almost three months in bed”.
To date, the singer has not yet returned to the stage.
Linn da Quebrada
The singer decided to take a break from her career to treat depression and announced the decision to her fans through a statement made on social media by her team.
“There are times when we need to stop and recognize that the safest way is to understand the scale of the problem and understand that a disease like this cannot be neglected,” stated the statement.
After that, the former BBB made an appearance saying that she was hospitalized and argued that talking about depression should not be a taboo in society. In September, she announced her discharge, but gave no prediction about her return to her artistic career.
