Lucy Rose

Lucy Rose’s return to the stage follows one of the most challenging and transformative periods of her life. After the release of her critically acclaimed 2019 album ‘No Words Left’, which culminated in a sold-out performance at London’s Barbican, Rose planned a period of rest following years of relentless touring, but was instead met with a rare and life-altering diagnosis.

“Five weeks after I gave birth to Otis, I started getting back pain… until one night, whilst lifting him, my back went.” An eventual MRI scan revealed eight fractured vertebrae caused by pregnancy-associated osteoporosis, a condition affecting fewer than 1 in 100,000 women, leaving her unable to carry out everyday tasks with doctors unable to guarantee recovery.

Recovery came gradually, aided by hydrotherapy that, in Rose’s words, “really changed my life.” As her physical strength returned, so too did her connection to music.

What followed was a creative reawakening that reshaped her relationship with songwriting, including time spent working with Logic and recording at Paul Weller’s studio, embracing a more open and instinctive creative process.

‘This Ain’t The Way You Go Out’ is an album constructed from the ashes of despair, nurturing the tiniest of green shoots and giving life to something that had looked otherwise spent. It’s a new era for Lucy, and an era in its purest, truest sense. An artist re-awakening herself to the power of music, and having a lot of fun in the process of its discovery and delivery.
