- Felix Jaehn expresses his sensitivity, opting out of performance.
Pop artist Felix Jaehn, hailing from Germany and now based in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, has opted to take a break from the music scene and has canceled forthcoming performances. Jaehn, now identifying as pansexual and non-binary, prefers to go by the gender-neutral moniker 'Fee'.
With assistance from mental health specialists, Jaehn has acknowledged their susceptibility to intense emotions, as hinted at in a pre-30th birthday Instagram post.
Headlining at Heide-Park Resort in Soltau was part of Jaehn's upcoming plans, along with shows in Frankfurt am Main and Ibiza scheduled for September, according to their online information.
Jaehn penned a heartfelt apology on Instagram, stating, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I must postpone all performances for now." Their body and mind have been sending out "alarm signs" that Jaehn is now addressing. It's time for rest and recovery, with a broken, vivid red heart emoji.
Jaehn achieved their first success in 2015 via a remix of the song "Cheerleader." Jaehn openly discussed being bisexual in 2018. This year, Jaehn clarified their gender identity and sexual orientation.
During an interview with drag queens Jacky-Oh Weinhaus and Jurassica Parka in April, Jaehn shared that their music project would still carry the name "Felix Jaehn." However, Jaehn added, "Feel free to call me Fee when speaking with me."
