Pop star Kesha is on the road to recovery after undergoing surgery to repair a torn ACL, an injury she sustained during a performance in Dubai on February 9. The 31-year-old singer was recently spotted at Los Angeles International Airport, confidently showcasing the scar from her recent operation.
Dressed casually in denim shorts and brown lace-up boots complemented by a fringe jacket and a band t-shirt, Kesha seemed unfazed by her visible scar, which she had previously told fans would be a badge of honor representing “gnarly battle scars.”
Due to her injury, Kesha had to postpone several international tour dates in Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, and Japan, prioritizing her health on the advice of her doctors. “It’s my biggest joy in life to share my music with my fans all over the world, but I have to follow my doctors’ orders and undergo surgery so I can get ready to give it my all on my summer tour and beyond,” Kesha explained in a statement.
However, fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the North American leg of her Adventures of Kesha and Macklemore tour is expected to proceed as planned. The tour is set to kick off on June 6 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Before her surgery, the “Praying” singer took to Instagram to share a pre-operation photo of her knee, hinting at the forthcoming changes with a promise of battle scars. Kesha has remained open about her recovery process, updating fans with a makeup-free selfie and expressing gratitude for their support. “ANIMALS, thank you sooo much for all the support! I’m gettin ready to boogie with you all this summer,” she posted, showcasing her resilience and readiness to return to the stage.
Kesha’s determination and transparency about her recovery journey continue to endear her to fans, underscoring her commitment to her music and her concerts despite personal setbacks.
