- "Felix Jaehn Annuls All Performances": Time for Recovery for Musical Artist
Felix Jaehn, back in 2014, unleashed his remix of Jamaican rapper Omi's "Cheerleader" tune, catapulting him as a global sensation from his Hamburg base. However, ten years later, Jaehn has axed all scheduled performances and events. Taking to Instagram, Jaehn confessed that he had been concealing his discomfort, failing to recognize the intensity of his struggle until he sought professional help. He emphasized the necessity of rest and healing, stating, "It's time to rest. It's time to heal."
Felix Jaehn Cancels All Shows
During an appearance on the "Sweet and Spicy" show back in April, Jaehn publicly identified as non-binary, choosing to use the name "Fee" as a nod to his new gender-neutral identity. On the show, he also expressed his preference for the non-binary pronouns "dey/den" in German, emulating the English "they/them."
The intersection of global stardom and mental health has long been a recurring theme in Jaehn's life. Prior to reaching fame, Jaehn discussed the struggle in an interview with the German magazine stern in 2021. He admitted, "I was merely too young. Worldwide fame advanced ahead of me having the chance to navigate my own life. I was an insecure individual who stumbled upon and was swept up by success." When "Cheerleader" began climbing the charts, Jaehn was just 20 years old. After a performance, he frequently experienced a psychological crash, and the solitude between acts took a toll on his mental health.
In a 2021 interview, Jaehan discussed various techniques for handling psychological challenges, including lifestyle changes and adjusting daily routines. However, it appears that these methods were not sufficient in addressing his concerns. In his recent Instagram post, Jaehan expressed that he is "too vulnerable to perform" and that "my body and mind have issued a warning signal. It's time to pay heed." Fans showed their support in the comment section, with the majority acknowledging the importance of prioritizing health over professional commitments.
