Ne-Yo Crying Onstage

  Share  

Ne-Yo broke into tears onstage on Wednesday in Manchester, and cried so hard the show had to be stopped. An announcer said the show was not cancelled, but rather postponed.

There have been a lot of rumors that Ne-Yo is gay, despite pictures we obtained showing Ne-Yo getting hetero with a female, so may he’s bi.

Ne-Yo blamed his sudden and uncontrollable crying on a sinus infection that he says made his voice fade so much he couldn’t continue his performance. In the statement Ne-Yo released due to criticism from bloggers he is vague about the reason he stopped the show, and gets all emotional and philisophical about it. At 29 years-old, and having been in the music business for years now, one might think Ne-Yo would act like a big boy now, but his feminine side is showing, which stokes those gay rumors even further. Ne-Yo said in his statement:

I’m currently on tour in the UK. This tour began right after a 4 month stint in Prague shooting a world war 2 movie. We’re in a different city in a different part of the UK every night, moving non stop. Since my first album, roughly 5 years ago, I’ve taken 1 vacation, and even that was about 2 years ago.

Basically, I have an issue with not knowing when to say enough is enough, so last night in Manchester, my body said it for me.

I got on stage energized and ready to go, even tho for the last 5 days I’ve been dealing with a sinus infection. I paid it no real mind, and kept on going, like I always do. My voice couldn’t take it. From the first song I knew something was wrong. I shoulda stopped there, but I come from a school where no matter what, the show must go on. It wasn’t until about 4 songs in that I came to the painful realization that my voice was done, literally nothing left, and that I would have to stop the show.

Now let me explain something to you:

When I say this music, that stage, my fans, THIS is my life, I’m not saying it cause it sounds good in a sound bite. THIS IS MY LIFE!! Not much else matters to me, honestly.

My music, my family and the people that appreciate my music…..the fans. THAT’S ABOUT IT!!

I’ve never had to stop a show, never dreamed I’d ever have to. So when I had to walk out on that stage and tell 12,000 of the people responsible for making me who I am that I could not perform for them, it literally broke my heart.

I cried harder than I have in a very long time with no shame whatsoever.

To anyone out there that would like to question my manhood because of this I’ll say this to you:

If the one thing you cared about more than anything else in the world was threatened or even taken from you, if you knew that the people you cared for the most you had to disappoint and it was your fault… and this didn’t spark some kind of emotional outbreak within you…then with no shame I’ll say you are truly a stronger man than I.

To the people of Manchester, know that I love you and I thank you for being so understanding and supportive. And I promise you that you will receive the show deserved.

Thanks to the fans for the love and concern.

And to the bloggers….go to hell.

Sincerely, Ne*Yo!!

Ne-Yo shouldn’t feel so bad about crying his eyes out in front of thousands of people because he felt sorry for himself, Perez Hilton did the same thing weeks ago. We would think Ne-Yo was more manly if he were crying because he felt sorry for someone else, but crying because he feels sorry for himself makes him look self absorbed and childish to us. Grow up, and grow a pair, Ne-Yo. Isn’t being rich and successful enough to make you feel like a real man?

    Hey, if you had to disappoint all those people and weren’t upset about it then you would be a douchebag. The guy’s voice gave out. What else is he gonna do? Of course he was upset. If you were a runner and your legs gave out in a race would you not be pissed?

    Give the poor guy a break. I wonder if the poeple who are slating him for being “gay” think Chris Brown is manly for beating on a woman?

    okay, first of all who says you have to be felmale to cry in the first place. Society of course has this thing about if you are a male you are weak. Listen up, God almighty gave us all tears including men. We are all emotional creatures and if this man was in pain and felt the need to show some emotions by crying who are we to judge. Judge yourself and I’m pretty sure you will be dissapointed.
