FKA twigs has revealed that she is currently recovering from laparoscopic surgery to remove six fibroid tumours from her uterus.
The notoriously private artist shared the personal news in an Instagram post, explaining that she had surgery back in December to remove benign growths the size of two apples, three kiwis and a couple of strawberries — "a fruit bowl of pain everyday" or the equivalent size of being six months pregnant, as she puts it.
"I tried to be brave but it was excruciating at times and to be honest I started to doubt if my body would ever feel the same again," she wrote.
Despite feeling like "my confidence as a woman was knocked," twigs told her followers that she finally "felt like my strong self again for the first time in a while and it was magical" — a feeling she credits to dancing at her choreography house.
She also shared a video of said dancing. Watch that and read her full post below.
