Jessica Simpson discussed her recovery from alcoholism during a concert in Highland, California, on June 1. The 45-year-old singer marked eight years of sobriety, which she achieved in November.
Speaking to the audience, Simpson described the personal challenges that led to her decision to stop drinking after a difficult Halloween in 2017. She said the habit had become a crutch that caused more pain rather than numbing it. She introduced a new song titled Give It All Away and encouraged fans to show themselves grace. Simpson noted she felt like a work in progress and expressed pride in feeling alive and present. The performer returned to music with two EPs in 2025 and continues touring the United States. Additional shows are scheduled later this month in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Waterloo, New York, and Kettering, Ohio.
