Rita Ora, the renowned singer, has provided an update to her fans following a recent ‘health scare’ that led to her being urgently taken to a hospital in Budapest. The 33-year-old artist encountered the incident, forcing her to cancel her performance at the Campus Fesztival in Debrecen, Hungary, on July 27. Rita revealed to The Sun’s Bizarre column that she experienced a “little health scare” but has now recovered to “100 per cent”. While she did not disclose specific details about her health issue, Rita expressed regret for missing her festival appearance and issued an apology to her supporters via Instagram.
In her Instagram post, Rita apologised for her absence at the festival, citing her overnight hospital stay in Budapest and the need to rest and follow medical advice as reasons. Despite this setback, Rita has remained active with performances across Europe this summer and is eagerly anticipating the release of her new album next year. She hinted at a significant tour following the album’s release, which serves as a follow-up to her 2023 record, ‘You and I’. The inspiration behind this upcoming album stems from her relationship with her husband, Taika Waititi.
Speaking about her forthcoming album to Billboard, Rita expressed her excitement, highlighting a darker, spicier, and more aggressive sonic direction. She described feeling creatively inspired and embracing imperfections, reflecting a new artistic phase for her. The recent update from Rita comes after a performance at Mighty Hoopla in London that had its share of challenges. Rita’s attempt to engage the audience during her show led to an awkward moment when she struggled to find fans who knew the lyrics to her hit song ‘Anywhere’.
Rita’s resilience and commitment to her music career remain steadfast despite the occasional setbacks. Her forthcoming album and prospective tour signify an exciting chapter in her musical journey. Fans continue to support Rita through her ups and downs, eagerly awaiting her new releases and future performances.
