After a frightening hospitalization cut short her honeymoon in Japan, Noa Kirel opens up about The Voice tensions, her UK career plans, marriage to Daniel Peretz, body-image struggles and her surprising friendship with Ivanka Trump in MiamiFor years, Noa Kirel’s life has unfolded like a thriller that refuses to slow down. One peak follows another, one goal gives way to the next, and every new chapter seems required to produce an even greater climax. Yet even the most cynical screenwriter would have struggled to invent the twist that awaited her during her honeymoon in Japan.On June 6, Kirel stepped off the stage at the new amphitheater in Rishon LeZion after performing two sold-out shows in two days before tens of thousands of fans. Four months of rehearsals, training, vocal work, choreography and obsessive preparation had culminated in two nights that, in her view and according to the audience response, were nearly perfect.GalleryNoa Kirel hospitalized(From Noa Kirel’s Instagram page)Four days later, she was lying in a hospital in Kyoto, doubled over in excruciating pain and trying to understand doctors who spoke only Japanese and communicated with her through a tablet. Instead of enjoying her honeymoon, she found herself facing suspected appendicitis, urgent consultations with doctors in Israel and a decision almost as frustrating as the pain itself: cut the vacation short and take the first flight home.The honeymoon had been planned for nearly a year. In the world of Kirel and her husband, Southampton and Israel national team goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, there is little room for spontaneity. His life is organized around the English soccer season, while hers revolves around concerts, recordings, filming and large-scale productions.Japan was supposed to be the rare chapter in which they could simply be newlyweds, without directors, coaches, advisers or schedules. “Just before that, I felt like Beyoncé, with tens of thousands of people in the audience, exactly as I had dreamed,” she recalled. “I felt like the queen of the world, putting on the biggest show possible. Four days later, I was in a hospital in Kyoto, where no one understood me.“What a contrast. How could I feel like the most powerful person in the world, and then, within seconds, feel weaker than I had ever felt?”When did you first realize something was wrong?
