\n\tNelly Furtado<\/a> is stepping away from live shows for now. In an emotional note celebrating 25 years of her debut album on Thursday night, the \u201cSay It Right\u201d singer announced that she won\u2019t be performing onstage for the \u201cforeseeable future\u201d as she reflected on people reconnecting with her music over the past few years.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI have decided to step away from performance for the foreseeable future and pursue some other creative and personal endeavors that I feel would better suit this next phase of my life,\u201d Furtado wrote. \u201cI have enjoyed my career immensely, and I still love writing music as I have always seen it as a hobby I was lucky enough to make into a career. I\u2019ll identify as a songwriter forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFurtado started her post by reflecting on the anniversary of Whoa, Nelly!, sharing a photo of herself as a 20-year-old and shopping for a \u201cpink dres and some sparkly platform shoes to perform in.\u201d She also reflected on how fun it\u2019s been to see people \u201cdiscover\u201d her music in recent years.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMy music has reached a whole new generation of fans and I couldn\u2019t be happier about that,\u201d Furtado wrote. \u201cIn the year 2000, I remember feeling purpose in hoping some kid would dust off the Whoa, Nelly! vinyl one day in a record shop and think it was cool or inspiring, so I never could have guessed that there would be so many new ways to discover \u2018old\u2019 music in 2025!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShe added, \u201cTo have so many people rediscovering my music has been surreal and joyful. It\u2019s been so fun embracing this opportunity, getting out on stages again, and seeing up close the true lasting power of good music. It\u2019s made me really believe in magic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFurtado ended her post by sharing her gratitude with the fans and those who\u2019ve attended her shows and supported her career. \u201cI deeply thank all of those who have worked so hard to help me make my pop dreams come true on a creative and organizational level. I thank all my brilliant collaborators and loyal champions,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI also wish to the new generation of artists many years of fruitful and passionate performance.\u201d<\/p>\n
