The pop star discloses ongoing pain from neck injuries sustained during performances and reflects on the challenges of live shows.

Charli XCX shared that she suffers from nerve damage in her neck caused by physically intense performances during her tours.
The singer described the stage as a challenging space, both physically and emotionally, calling it a 'hellhole' due to the toll it takes on her body.
Despite the pain, she continues to perform, recently wrapping her co-headlining Sweat Tour with Troye Sivan and announcing a 2025 arena tour for her album 'Brat.'
Charli credited touring with Sivan and her collaborators for making the experience somewhat easier and less emotionally taxing.
The 32-year-old artist has also received seven Grammy nominations for 2025, underscoring the critical and commercial success of her sixth studio album, 'Brat.'
