Welsh born singer Duffy, best known for her song “Mercy,” gave herself quite a scare at a recent gig in Cleveland, Ohio where she performed with Coldplay.
She says, “I was in the dressing room and I had music on and candles alight.
The venue was a huge stadium, like a big sports centre. The dressing rooms had big white lights, no mirrors and lockers all along. They were super cool but you wouldn’t want to spend three hours in there.
So I was giving it a little bit of razzle dazzle. I had dimmed the lights then I lit this candle and it started melting a bit.
“I thought, ‘S**t!’ and started blowing it out. I got a cloth to wipe it up and bent down, not realising it was still lit. Then the entire left side of my hair went up in flames.”
To make matters worse, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin was on his way to visit the singer.
She recalls, “At that moment, Chris was walking down the corridor to say, ‘Hi’. I hadn’t met him before and the place stank of burning hair.
“Somebody came in and said, ‘Is someone cooking chicken?’ I had black crumbs of hair all down me so I had to give it a chop and pin it back. It was really bad and properly embarrassing. Chris could smell it, you couldn’t avoid smelling it.
“Can you imagine if I had gone up in flames? Nightmare. I honestly saw my life flash before my eyes.”
At least it wasn’t her whole head of hair!
