Phoebe Bridgers has achieved her first solo UK number one album with Lost Weekend while recovering from emergency appendicitis surgery. The 32-year-old artist announced the milestone via Instagram from her hospital bed, leading to the postponement of several upcoming UK performances.
A No. 1 Trophy and an Emergency Appendectomy
Phoebe Bridgers is celebrating a career milestone from a hospital bed.. The 32-year-old singer-songwriter reached the top of the Official Albums Chart with her third studio album, Lost Weekend, just as she underwent surgery for appendicitis. According to the report, Phoebe Bridgers was admitted to the hospital on her 32nd birthday this past Monday.
In a social media update, Phoebe Bridgers shared a photo of herself clutching her number one trophy, captioning the image, "Album is number one in the UK and I exploded." This victory comes shortly after the August 14 release of the 16-track record, which features songs such as "The Governor's Waltz," "The Outside," and "Still Standing."
Postponed Dates in Kingston, Brighton, and Bristol
The health crisis has forced immediate changes to the artist's schedule. As reported, Phoebe Bridgers was slated to perform in Kingston on August 19, followed by Brighton on August 20 and Bristol on August 21. Banquet Records, the organizer for the Kingston events, confirmed via Instagram that these performances are postponed while the singer recuperates.
While the UK dates are currently in limbo, the broader "Lost Tour" is still scheduled to begin on September 14 in Indianapolis. However, the timeline for her full recovery remains unclear , leaving fans to wonder if the US leg will face similar deays.
From Punisher's No. 6 Peak to the Top of the Official Albums Chart
This chart-topping success marks a significant leap for the Californian artist. Her previous 2022 effort, Punisher, peaked at number six in the UK. The journey to the top spot was a protracted one; Phoebe Bridgers admitted she struggled with a leengthy music hiatus, frequently booking and then delaying studio time over several years.
The production of Lost Weekend was characterized by a stop-and-start rhythm. Phoebe Bridgers noted that she would often enter the studio only to take six-month breaks, a process that she claimed made the album take "forever" to complete.
The Unannounced Dates for the Rescheduled UK Shows
Despite the celebration, several logistical gaps remain.. While Banquet Records is working with the global team of Phoebe Bridgers, the specific rescheduled dates for the Kingston, Brighton, and Bristol shows have not yet been announced. Furthermore, the report does not clarify the expected duration of her recovery or if the physical demands of the Indianapolis tour start on September 14 will be impacted by the surgery.
