Cara Delevingne nearly cancelled Berlin tour opener over late-night dental emergency
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Hollywood actress and model Cara Delevingne has revealed she came close to pulling out of the opening night of her debut tour after undergoing emergency dental work just hours before taking the stage in Berlin, Germany, on 1 June 2025. The 33-year-old addressed the drama directly from the stage at silent green, thanking the dentist who made her performance possible.
What Happened Backstage
Speaking to the Berlin crowd, Delevingne said, 'I just wanted to say a little thank you to the German people, but also to the Berlin dentistry society and one specific person.' She went on to name the individual responsible for saving her show: 'I don't know if he's here, but his name is Dr Felix. Without him, I wouldn't have been able to do the show tonight because, I'm not going to go into it but I had some pretty gross dental work that had to be done very late at night. So, thank you. I'll probably have to go and see him after this as well.'
Tour Dates and What's Ahead
The Berlin date was only the beginning. Delevingne's tour run this month is set to take in London, Paris, Los Angeles, and New York, marking an ambitious debut live campaign for the actress-turned-musician. The tour serves as the live launch pad for her first foray into music at this scale.
Debut Singles and the Album
Delevingne recently released her debut singles 'I Forgot' and 'Out of My Head', accompanied by a seven-minute short film directed by Emmy winner Jessica Lee Gagne. The two tracks are the first preview of her debut album, due later this summer. She co-wrote 'I Forgot' with Trey Campbell and collaborated with producer BJ Burton — known for his work with Bon Iver, Nine Inch Nails, and Charli XCX — to craft a sound that pushes into darker, more experimental territory.
The Sound and the Vision
The lead single layers fragile vocals over jagged distortion and heavy synths, with vulnerable lyrics touching on drug and alcohol addiction and mental struggle. Its companion track, 'Out of My Head', shifts into a trip-hop pulse before erupting into drum 'n' bass. Gagne's short film mirrors that sense of disorientation, placing Delevingne inside staged scenes that repeatedly collapse to reveal the machinery behind them — as the walls fall away, she fights, dances, and screams through the chaos, blurring the line between performance and reality.
With her debut album on the horizon and a multi-city tour underway, Delevingne appears to be staking serious creative ground beyond her modelling and acting career.
