On Thursday, five years after revealing she had been abducted and sexually abused, the Welsh singer appeared on TikTok to promote a new remix of her hit, “Mercy.” The appearance comes five years after the singer revealed that she was “raped and drugged and held captive over some days” in an Instagram post that marked one of her first public statements in a long time. In 2011, Duffy announced she would be taking a hiatus from music, and returned only in 2015 to release a handful of songs for the soundtrack to Tom Hardy’s 2015 movie Legend.
