Ne-Yo Explains On Stage Tears

Posted at 07/18/2009 by 0 Comment

Last week, during a performance in Manchester, England, singer Ne-Yo broke down abruptly, shocking the audience and leaving stage without completing his full show. People have been speculating about what may have caused his teary outbreak. The singer now provides an explanation via his blog on Globalgrind.com:

Basically, I have an issue with not knowing when to say enough is enough, so last night in Manchester, my body said it for me.
I got on stage energized and ready to go, even tho for the last 5 days I’ve been dealing with a sinus infection. I paid it no real mind, and kept on going, like I always do. My voice couldn’t take it. From the first song I knew something was wrong. I shoulda stopped there, but I come from a school where no matter what, the show must go on. It wasn’t until about 4 songs in that I came to the painful realization that my voice was done, literally nothing left, and that I would have to stop the show. 

He then went on to explain that this was a first for him:

I’ve never had to stop a show, never dreamed I’d ever have to. So when I had to walk out on that stage and tell 12,000 of the people responsible for making me who I am that I could not perform for them, it literally broke my heart.
I cried harder than I have in a very long time with no shame whatsoever.
