Ellie Goulding is reportedly suffering from amnesia, explaining the reason for canceling numerous concerts recently.
Goulding was also forced to cancel various tours due to severe exhaustion, and was told by doctors she could lose her voice if she didn’t take time to rest.
An insider revealed to The Sun newspaper: “Ellie’s body clock is completely out of sync and she has found herself lying awake in bed most nights unable to get to sleep.
All the traveling through random time zones has messed with her system. She just can’t get to sleep at night, and even when she’s back in England the insomnia is sapping her energy.”
The star is not only taking a break for her own sake, but also to deliver the best she can to her fans.
“She’s worried about it as she doesn’t want to be tired before going on stage. She’s a professional and wants to give her fans the best performances possible,” the source continued.
The Burn hitmaker has now been resting for several weeks and is improving her overall lifestyle to remain healthy.
The source added: “Ellie’s had a couple of weeks off now and is hoping she can beat her insomnia through exercise and natural remedies.”
Goulding had tweeted about her insomnia earlier this year, adding: “Been lying awake since 3am. So much fun.”
However, the artist is officially scheduled for a show on July 28th to conclude her Delirium tour.
The star had previously explained her reasons for canceling said shows, stating: “I’ve had to cancel some festivals this weekend because of exhaustion. I’ve done nearly 100 shows this year and my doctor has said if I do this weekend my voice might not bounce back from it. They did a bunch of tests on me and I have been diagnosed with exhaustion.”
