Can fame be silent killer of singer's career ?
The Island
|December 09, 2025
Fame can often feel like a dream come true for a singer, but for many, it quietly becomes a kind of trap.
-
Under the bright lights, with applause and red-carpet glamour, there lies intense pressure, loss of privacy, and a constant expectation to deliver. That pressure sometimes leads to heartbreak, disillusionment, even tragedy.
For a singer just starting out, success might be about expression, art, music. Once the limelight arrives, everything changes. Fans, media, and the industry expect more hits, more performances, more "moments." Creativity can shift from being a joyful personal journey into a production line where the next album, single or tour becomes not a choice but an obligation. Over time, many artistes find that the joy of making music gives way to a nagging worry. Will the next release satisfy expectations? Will critics and fans still love them? That anxiety can hollow out the passion that first inspired them.
