Singer, Normani Reflects On Putting Her Music Career On Hold Following Her Parents Cancer Diagnosis (DETAILS)
American singer, Normani is back to making music after announcing her long awaited debut studio album ‘Dopamine’.
In an interview with ‘Who What Wear’, Normani shared that both her Mother and Father had been battling with cancer which eventually led to her music hiatus.
The singer said;
“F*ck all of this. This is bigger than the music. It’s bigger than what I’m trying to accomplish. This is life or death. All I wanted to do was be there for them.”
Reflecting on how the high points of her music journey would lift the entire family’s spirits, she added:
“Honestly, music got them through the cancer treatments. I remember being on FaceTime with my mom while she was undergoing chemo and her asking me, ‘How’s the studio today? How’s the music coming?’” she says. At this moment, tears start to form in her eyes. She stammers a bit but goes on to say, “As hard as it was for me to not be with them as much as I wanted to, ultimately, pushing through made the circumstances of the last few years feel a bit lighter for my parents.”
While concluding, Normani said:
“It was in those moments with my parents that made me realize that I have an opportunity to make an impact in this lifetime. I know everything I’ve been through isn’t in vain. There’s always something that God wants me to see in the season. It’s all in service of making me better for all that he actually has in store for me.”
