Pop legend Anastacia, 56, has announced a major UK and Ireland tour set for September 2026, marking her long-awaited return to London’s Wembley Arena after 22 years. The Left Outside Alone singer will perform nine shows across Belfast, Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester, Wolverhampton, Cardiff, London, and Brighton. European dates will follow, with tickets on sale from 5 September.

Health Struggles and Menopause Revelation
In a recent interview on The Project, Anastacia revealed she once feared she had a brain tumor due to severe symptoms, only to discover they were linked to menopause. The star described experiencing exhaustion, brain fog, and a resurgence of heart palpitations (supraventricular tachycardia). “I had no idea it was hormone-related,” she admitted. “Menopause hasn’t been easy, but I’m not scared to talk about it.”

Anastacia, who’s promoting her 25th-anniversary tour for her debut album Not That Kind, also addressed her commitment to Y2K fashion, joking about fluctuating sizes due to menopause. She credits bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) for managing symptoms, stating, “I don’t like whining—I tackle things head-on.”

Past Health Battles
The star has faced multiple health challenges, including Crohn’s disease at 13, breast cancer diagnoses in 2003 and 2013, and heart issues. Despite these hurdles, she remains resilient. “I’ve learned to advocate for my health,” she told hosts.
