Singer Duffy has opened up about a four-week ordeal during which she was drugged in her own home, raped and taken to a foreign country.
It's the first time she's given details of the terrifying experience, which led to her retreating from the spotlight.
"Rape is like living murder, you are alive, but dead," she wrote.
"All I can say is it took an extremely long time, sometimes feeling never ending, to reclaim the shattered pieces of me."
Duffy had the UK's best-selling album of 2008 and won three Brit Awards and a Grammy, but she virtually vanished after releasing her second album in 2010.
Her lengthy written account, in which she does not name her attacker, comes a month after she posted the first details on Instagram.
