Cara Delevingne delayed music career due to addiction struggles

Cara Delevingne postponed her music career to focus on overcoming a long-term drug and alcohol addiction. After entering a rehabilitation program in late 2022, she has returned to her creative work and recently released her debut album.

Model and actress Cara Delevingne recently revealed that she intentionally delayed her musical career due to struggles with substance abuse. She explained to Bustle that while she could handle critiques about her appearance or acting, she felt too vulnerable to face criticism regarding her music during that difficult period. Delevingne emphasized that creating music is now essential for her mental well-being and eventually led to the release of her debut album, Not Normal, last September.

Delevingne has spoken openly about her long-term battle with addiction, which she claims began at a very young age. Her situation reached a turning point in late 2022 after images surfaced showing her in a disoriented state, prompting her to seek professional help in a rehabilitation facility. She noted that the combination of reaching the age of thirty and the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted her mental health, leading her to rely on drugs and alcohol until she chose to embrace sobriety.
