All musical endeavours and scheduled performances were cancelled until 2015
This is too absolute: Duffy did perform before 2015. She appeared at the Francofolies New York "A Tribute to Edith Piaf" event on September 19, 2013.
Full reasoning
The claim says all musical activity and scheduled performances were cancelled until 2015, but there is concrete evidence of a 2013 live performance.
- Time Out New York previewed the Sept. 19, 2013 Beacon Theatre event Francofolies – A Tribute to Edith Piaf and explicitly listed Duffy among the singers appearing.
- Getty Images has an editorial photo captioned: "Duffy performs during Francofolies New York: A Tribute To Edith Piaf at Beacon Theatre on September 19, 2013 in New York City."
Because Duffy publicly performed in September 2013, it is inaccurate to say that all musical endeavours and scheduled performances were cancelled until 2015.

NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 19: Duffy performs during Francofolies New York: A Tribute To Edith Piaf at Beacon Theatre on September 19, 2013 in New York City.
since 2015, she has again ceased performing
This is outdated. Duffy returned to the stage on July 5, 2026, performing a live concert at Hoxton Hall in London.
Full reasoning
This statement is no longer accurate as of July 2026.
- Pitchfork reported on June 7, 2026 that Duffy would return to the stage on July 5, 2026 for her first live show in nearly 15 years.
- Rolling Stone Australia then reported that the concert took place: Duffy performed at Hoxton Hall on Sunday, July 5 for her first live concert in nearly 15 years.
So she had not "ceased performing" since 2015; she resumed live performance in 2026.
