Perrie Edwards Almost Died Doing Little Mix Tour After Her Pregnancy, Singer Shares

Little Mix's Perrie Edwards has said that touring after having birth was horrifying, to say the least. It certainly took a toll on her still recovering mind and body.

Next Saturday will mark the conclusion of their sold-out Confetti tour, the first since Jesy Nelson's 2020 departure.

Last year, both Perrie, 28, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 30, welcomed children into the world and found it extremely difficult to return to rehearsals so soon after giving birth.

Perrie revealed in an exclusive interview with The Sun a week before the group's hiatus: "I feel like me and Leigh-Anne should have had a note from the doctor saying: 'Perrie and Leigh have baby brain, go easy on them today',"

"Baby brain is real! Jade would pick up the routine in two seconds and we'd be there for an hour doing the simplest of things and then totally forget what it was," she explained.

She said that this kind of struggle has never happened in the past, so much so that she thought she would die in this tour because her mind and body were just so unprepared.

She credited Jade for the success of the tour despite her and Leigh's struggles. "If it wasn't for Jade, keeping the morale up and the positivity going then I don't know if we'd have made it," she said.

Jade would not take the credit however.

She expressed admiration for how wonderfully the new mothers handled things.

She said that the fact that Perrie and Leigh-Anne had to adjust after having children, made it incredible that they were able to go into full rehearsal mode while breastfeeding and having their babies there.

She liked it even more to see how the two confidently handled their stage time in their post-baby bodies. She said she also struggled, and she was not even pregnant.

Regarding the future, they are all keeping their cards close to their chests, but admit that they are both excited and anxious about what lies ahead.

Jade said she's jumping into the unknown and do not really have a concrete strategy.

"We all sort of have an idea what we want to do and how we want to do it. But personally, I'm going to enjoy not putting pressure on myself to have to do something by a certain time," she added.

Perrie said she'll be happy and content so long as she can sing somewhere and at least someone is listening."
