Regine Velasquez Says She’s Alright Following Post About Performance Anxiety

Regine Velasquez assures her fans.

After opening up about dealing with anxiety, Asia’s Songbird, Regine Velasquez, assured her fans that she is fine.

Kapamilya star Regine Velasquez previously shared in a candid way that she’s been having stage anxiety. She struggled with this after performing with Josh Groban and in her other recent performances. This was a heartbreaking moment for her.

Velasquez opened up about her battle with anxiety on X (formerly Twitter) on February 19. She expressed that while she feels honored to perform with Groban, she was so nervous that she was unable to eat.

Her post drew reactions from fans and fellow artists, including Julie Anne San Jose, Zsa Zsa Padilla, and Darren Espanto, among others.

Velasquez then confessed that singing and performing onstage now gives her anxiety, although she doesn’t know how it started.

She, along with Martin Nievera and Julie Anne San Jose, appeared as special guests during the Manila leg of Josh Groban’s “GEMS” world tour on Feb. 18 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

“It was wonderful and an honor to sing with Josh Groban last night but I was so nervous. I was so anxious the whole day [that] I forgot to eat,” she said.

Recently, after admitting that she was anxious, a lot of people have become worried about her, and directly addressing this, she shared that she is fine and alright. She is still navigating these kinds of challenges in her career as a performer.

She then clarified that her past post was just a part of her reflection as she deals with the changes. She thanked her fans, friends, and colleagues for the love she has been receiving, even joking about the kind of “gifts” she hopes to get next time.
