Gabrielle: The Enigmatic Singer Concealing Her Truth

Gabrielle, the chart-topping British singer and songwriter known for hits like ‘Dreams‘ and ‘Out of Reach‘, is gearing up for her 2025 tour in Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Newcastle.

Despite her musical success, fans have long been intrigued by one aspect of her appearance – the fact that Gabrielle always conceals one eye.

In a recent BBC interview, Gabrielle revealed that she has ptosis, a condition causing drooping of the upper eyelid that began in childhood.

This led to a corrective surgery that left her with a shortened eyelid, which she chooses to cover as it is her ‘comfort blanket’.

Gabrielle’s struggles with depression and bullying during her school years due to her condition shed light on the emotional challenges she has faced.

During her appearance on ITV‘s The Masked Singer as Harlequin, Gabrielle spoke about the empowerment she felt when covering her eye, describing it as a ‘game-changer’ for her.

Ptosis is a condition that manifests as the drooping of one or both upper eyelids, which can be congenital or acquired, and can impact vision.

Diagnosis and treatment of ptosis often involve consultation with ophthalmologists and may require surgical intervention to improve visual function.
