ONE YEAR AT A TIME –

Feb. 2, 2023 – Welch has previously talked about her issues with alcohol and substance abuse as well as eating disorders.

Speaking to Vogue in 2019, the Dog Days Are Over singer talked about her previous party girl existence – describing it as a “defining feature” of her personality, which would often lead her to be blackout drunk. 

She mused: “Being a musician and a blackout drinker can lead you to have a rather coddled existence, and make it hard to grow up. Partying was, I felt, a defining feature of my personality – good at singing, good at drinking and good at taking drugs. (Note: if you think you are good at taking lots of drugs, it usually means you are not good at it and will have to stop eventually, or worse.)

“But the new-found thrill of leaving somewhere with all my belongings, having not been felt up by someone inappropriate in a car park, has still not left me. It feels miraculous to spend my Mondays working or reading rather than binge-watching Bake Off, unable to move, intermittently weeping into a pillow, hoping the bunting will block out the regret.”
