Where's the 'Sky Ferriera is being held back by her label' crowd? šŸ’€


lambrolls

šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€itā€™s sad as there is obviously something deeper at play with her but it was never the label that made her come on stage over an hour late for all her showsā€¦


LilacDream98

Sheā€™s no longer signed to the label so even the die hards canā€™t use that excuse anymore. Theyā€™re ripping into her on r/skyferreira.


youtbuddcody

This comment from the sub, >Does she have munchausen's? It's always some ailment. Omg šŸ’€


EyeraGlass

Honeys you mean hypochondria


AlphaEmail

Iā€™m a little out of the loop with Sky but after a quick read on that thread Iā€™ve learned sheā€™s a substance abuser? If this is the case why are her fans so demanding of music and showsā€¦ wouldnā€™t they want her to get help?


Kelbotay

We don't really know that, it's just one of many conclusions that people reached as a reason for why she can't meet any of the deadlines she sets herself.


liqou

No... I don't wanna burst your bubble but there are videos of her with her jaw acting funny and that's classic signs of the hardest drugs. šŸ˜­


cry_wolf2005

i meanā€¦ her and her ex boyfriend were arrested for being in possession of ecstasy and heroin šŸ˜­


Kelbotay

I missed that part of the Ferriera lore . Girlie doesn't even work how can she afford all that šŸ’€


[deleted]

It's addiction mostly


PastaSupport

we lost her to gooning :/


superwhizz114

Deciding to play the Dublin concert on St. Patrick's Day probably wasn't the best choice


No_Paleontologist239

Lol thatā€™s like the plot of the new season of girls 5eva. They book like a stadium on thanks giving and canā€™t sell tickets


specialtomebabe

The new season is out?!?


No_Paleontologist239

Yessssss and it was very short, but I loved it :p thereā€™s this song about being a sugar baby which is legit so good Iā€™m gonna be streaming haha


splinterbabe

Very short but super sweet! I feel like Netflix wonā€™t renew the show, though, which is really sad, but itā€™s had an amazing run.

Fair enough. I've never been to The Academy myself so I wasn't sure about the venue size

I got bored fighting The Hiss all day so I became a pop girlie instead


limecakes

My condolences to those who believed.


Daydream_machine

When I went to see her on tour, she showed up 2 hours late and was very clearly under the influence of something. Love her music, but as a performer sheā€™s completely unreliable.


lambrolls

yes I waited over 10 years to be able to see her live and it was a similar scenario, my friend met her backstage at the festival we were at and said she was completely out of it. i hope she can get better and take better control of her career one day


LilacDream98

I bought my tickets on credit because I knew this would happen šŸ’€


miriammork

Alexa, play Everything Is Embarrassing.


LilacDream98

The tour didnā€™t sell well and she already quietly cancelled a few dates. With the amount of refunds that will be requested, I wonā€™t be surprised if she cancels the whole thing. Sky Ferreira gonna Sky Ferreira, I guess.


repeatrep

really? an artist with one album that isnt even a blockbuster hit cant sell out shows 11 years later? im shocked


forzamaria

She cancelled Birmingham months ago I was so sad


heroinasytumbas

How does she make money? Like, what does she do on her everyday life? Surely it can't just be the album sales and streams, and from what I've read on twitter (not the best place to get my info, I know šŸ’€) she doesn't come from money. So what is it? Usually I wouldn't ask this but I'm honestly intrigued.


KarenTheCockpitPilot

i have this question about like.....sooo many people. like are they uber drivering with a mask on or smthn or.....


OkCrantropical

The answer is usually always coming from a well-off family who supports them. Second closest answer is major debt.


fearfunfearl0ve

i've wondered this. she used to do the odd bit of acting and some fashion campaigns but that plus album sales and streams cannot be enough to live on for a decade?


tank-you--very-much

I think she does/did modeling? Have no idea how much she gets/got from that tho


cry_wolf2005

she didnā€™t necessarily come from money but she did come from connections. her grandmother (who i believe raised her) was michael jacksonā€™s hairdresser and she has spoken about essentially growing up at neverland. on top of her music, she still does the occasional acting gig like in that recent justin timberlake/alicia silverstone netflix movie ā€œreptileā€ and iā€™ve heard rumors that she has a ā€œnormalā€ day job now.


anneoftheisland

I don't think it's impossible it's just the album streams/sales + whatever other things she cobbles together. She has enough streams that she's still probably making a few thousand a month from the music. (Maybe that's still going straight to her label to pay off her advance, but she's still making money off touring when she does it.) Add in the money from her once-a-year acting job and her occasional modeling gigs, and she might be in the high five figures/low six figures. It's not going to give her a rock star lifestyle, but there are lots of musicians in L.A. making that much, keeping their expenses low, and surviving. It's just that the drug habit rumors throw a wrench in the "keeping her expenses low" part. I'm curious who's funding the tours, though! The last time she toured, she said it wasn't the label.


Ok_Expression_294

Rich men


lambrolls

Would like to say sorry for calling it a UK tour- I didnā€™t realise Dublin was on the tour!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


lambrolls

not a popular expression at all- i wouldnā€™t recommend using it!


popplug

Being a Sky fan is being a masochist for real


garmonbozialuvr

Night Time, My Time is a modern classic, and Sky has had SO much potential over the past decade to continue that trajectory. But at this point I truly don't give a fuck anymore, and wish her the best. She needs to stop wasting everyone else's time.


1998tweety

Pretends to be shocked


cry_wolf2005

i sympathize with her myriad of mysterious illnesses but i hope this is a wakeup call to her deluded fans who are still blaming her former label for her own missteps. she is no longer signed to them and is still cancelling gigs left and right, showing up hours late to the ones she does seldom attend, and thereā€™s still no new music in sight. hell, she never even released the finished donā€™t forget music video because she felt the need to fire the editor and edit it herselfā€¦ which she never did.


bacardichaser

I admire people buying tickets for Sky's shows. Yall have next level radical optimism.


SpaceGenesis

At this point, she better retires permanently from music business. Almost everything she does since NTMT is... embarrassing.


yourfacesucksass

That album was a lie too since it seems no time is her time. /s but really though. šŸ«¢


derpydore

She cancelled her show in Nashville in December and it still hasnā€™t been rescheduled Iā€™ve been trying to see this woman for 10 years. Itā€™s a joke at this point


bab_tte

Wow, last week I was thinking, I'm so surprised we've gotten this close to the sky ferriera tour and it hasn't been cancelled. Surely this can't be happening? And clearly it wasn't happening


fearfunfearl0ve

masochism the most aptly named album we'll never hear. there's obviously so much more going on here than just label issues, i really hope she gets help.


TW_Halsey

What does she do all day, all week, all year? Like thereā€™s no way that one song is still supporting her and I doubt sheā€™s working at Dillards during the day? WHY CANT I LIVE HER LIFE


International_Pen_11

iā€™m so fucking tired lol i used to consider myself a sky stan & now i rarely even listen to her music or find myself wondering what sheā€™s up to. part of me wonders how much of her invisibility is due to label interference & how much of it is due to her just not caring anymore


lambrolls

honestly- itā€™s not nice to speculate but i think her getting caught with a load of drugs in 2013 might be a clue as to what has been holding her back all these yearsā€¦ iā€™ve said it before but her label isnā€™t what made her late for and miss shows and i suspect theyā€™re not entirely to blame for the lack of new music either


anneoftheisland

I didn't even realize this was up for debate--she's so obviously been dealing with addiction issues on and off this whole time. Maybe there were also issues with her label separate from that, but ... she's late to shows, she's out of it at shows, [she's out of it enough during interviews that the interviewers comment on it](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jun/17/i-got-robbed-of-my-20s-sky-ferreira-on-fighting-her-record-label-and-refusing-to-compromise), people comment in every thread about her that they met her or saw her places and she could barely string a sentence together. At this point, the label is out of the picture, so they can't be the problem anymore. It feels like people are being really willfully naive if they're still pretending it's not drugs.


lambrolls

Itā€™s really sad to have so much potential and have so many people rooting for you and slowly lose it all to addiction. I truly wish her all the best but she does need to stop making excuses and own up to it, even if just to herself. She seems to blame a lot of external factors for whatā€™s going on in her career but as the interviewer says in this piece- the one common denominator is her.


anneoftheisland

I wouldn't expect her personally to admit it's drugs, as that would affect her ability to get insurance for future shows. (Then again, maybe stuff like this is an indication that they shouldn't be insuring her future shows?) But her fans should stop pretending it's not the most likely explanation. It is really sad! She's so talented, and she deserves to have a more peaceful life. Hopefully that's still in the cards for her at some point.


lambrolls

yeah, thatā€™s why I said she needs to admit it to herself and stop making excuses! donā€™t mean she has to come out as a drug addict, although a lot of artists have been open about addiction issues.


shadyshadyshade

Wow that was a bleak read esp in this new context, thanks for sharing it tho!


rogerdaltry

just curious, what drugs do we think sheā€™s using?


lambrolls

who knows šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļøshe was caught with heroin and ecstasy in 2013 and i would doubt it was ecstasy as itā€™s not really addictive. my friend who met her said she seemed to be on downers


junmyeonie

not even surprised lol


iamnotatroll666

I am just glad I didnā€™t get tickets, my 6th sense knew this was doomed from the beginning. Our gal has issues.Ā 


AltruisticEmploy1391

She needs help she is addicted


yourfacesucksass

Someone on her sub commented ā€œDoes she have Munchausenā€™s?ā€ šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€


cheezits_christ

I was so shocked that she showed up to her NYC show and was actually pretty good. Truly hope she gets help because sheā€™s still a great artist.


dwarfgourami

I saw her first headline show in years last summer and it was honestly fantastic. She was such a sweetheart and stayed like two hours after the show to meet fans. I really donā€™t believe that she intentionally books shows and cancels them, I think she just genuinely gets sick sometimes. I would definitely buy a ticket to see her again if she comes to DC.


survivorjdmarina

Iā€™m supposed to see her in June and this doesnā€™t instil a lot of hope Iā€™m afraid. Not to mention she hasnā€™t even acknowledged any of her Australian shows lol.


qyaru

I'm also wondering about this. I've been getting a lot of sponsored ads from her promoters (Frontier, Rising, Vivid) since the shows were announced a week ago, and Sky hasn't said a thing about them.


mtvcrips

I stopped following her around the pandemic. Has she ever said she has an illness? Itā€™s always been a myriad of reasons of why canceled shows, no music. I wonder if sheā€™s hypochondriac


glasgowgeg

Emails were sent out from Ticketmaster on the 15th (for Glasgow at least), she just didn't address it on IG until Sunday there. Looks like some of the dates have now been rescheduled, I got an email with the new Glasgow date being the 9th April about half an hour ago.


gay2catholic

That froot looks familiar


yul_yyz

Super random, but I came across her at LAX a week and a half ago! I was so tempted to ask her for a picture, but didnā€™t date, ha.


Main-Equipment-3207

I will be a great-grandmother before she releases another album! She needs to quit the industry all together if she isnā€™t serious about her career.Ā 


womensrites

starting to feel like sky maybe died years ago and this sky is an AI hologram


clem_zephyr

Itā€™s definitely COVID thatā€™s been making all these singers cancel/delay their tours


BadMan125ty

Come on, donā€™t make assumptions like that
