Argentine singer Karina La Princesita has revealed the severe health toll her demanding career has taken, including developing vocal cord cysts and spitting blood after performing an astonishing 34 shows over a single weekend.

34 shows between Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

La Princesita explained that she and her team have since adjusted her workload, now aiming for a maximum of one or two shows per night, with performances lasting longer. This change came after her body issued a stark warning. "I stopped because in the end, cysts appeared on my vocal cords, I would sing and spit blood," she stated, highlighting the physical consequences of pushing her limits without adequate rest.

We started at 3 in the afternoon, with 50 degrees heat, and finished at 9 in the morning, without stopping the next day in Santiago del Estero. It was during carnival time.

She reflected that in the past, she lacked the agency to refuse such demanding schedules. "Before, I didn't decide," she admitted, implying a lack of control over her professional commitments. The singer emphasized that her body's distress forced her to re-evaluate her career's pace, noting that her income at the time did not justify the immense physical effort required. Her experience underscores the intense pressures faced by performers and the critical importance of health management in physically demanding professions.
