Hololive star Gawr Gura, the world’s most followed VTuber, is taking an indefinite break from streaming and all activities for health issues. The star has been hit by plenty of setbacks in the second half of 2022, but wants to rebound stronger in 2023.

“Hololive English member Gawr Gura will be taking a break from streaming for a period of time due to health reasons,”the agency revealed.
“She will still continue to use Twitter to connect with fans. Please feel free to send her your well wishes and love. Thank you again for your patience and understanding. We look forward to her safe return once she gets better.”
