Fallon Sherrock, the iconic Queen of the Oche, has stunned fans with an emotional announcement that she’s stepping away from darts—for now. The history-maker, who shattered glass ceilings and sent shockwaves through the sport with her PDC World Championship wins, delivered the news with a heavy heart, saying simply: “It really hurts.”
And just like that, darts Twitter went into meltdown.
In her heartfelt statement, Fallon opened up about the toll the game has taken—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Between endless travel, mounting expectations, and the ever-present glare of being the female face of darts, the pressure cooker finally boiled over.
“I need to take care of myself,” she wrote, leaving fans reeling and rivals wondering what’s next.
Some say it’s burnout. Others suspect behind-the-scenes drama. A few dramatic souls even whispered retirement—though she made it clear: this isn’t goodbye, just a breather.
Still, the timing has tongues wagging. With major tournaments just around the corner, the absence of Sherrock’s swagger, sparkle, and bullseye brilliance will be felt hard. Who will walk in to Beyoncé now? Who’ll silence the jeers with a perfect leg?
Fallon’s always played her own game—bold, brash, unbothered. And true to form, she’s leaving on her own terms, not with a whimper but with an emotional mic drop.
The message is clear: Fallon Sherrock needs time. And when she comes back?
You better believe the oche will shake.
