What Is the Matter With Fallon Sherrock? — The Full Story
Fallon Sherrock, once hailed as the “Queen of the Palace,” has stunned her fans with a heartbreaking revelation: she’s taking an extended break from professional darts to fight serious health challenges.
A Rising Star, Now Slowing Down
Sherrock burst into the spotlight in 2021 by becoming the first woman to win a match at the PDC World Darts Championship. But since then, her brilliance has been dimmed by a private but persistent struggle — one she’s now forced to confront publicly.
Her Health: The Silent Battle
Back in 2014, Sherrock was diagnosed with a chronic kidney condition. Over the years, she’s undergone treatment, managed medications, and faced ups and downs with her energy and stamina. The disease has taken a visible toll on her appearance and performance. But until recently, she tried to shield fans from the full extent of her struggle.
In an emotional statement, Fallon admitted that competing at her usual intensity has become impossible. Rehearsing, traveling, heading to back-to-back tournaments — these once routine parts of her life now exhaust her. She confessed to canceling exhibition events and scaling back her schedule because she “simply lacks the stamina.”
The Decision to Step Back
Faced with these mounting challenges, Sherrock has chosen to hit pause. She’s announced that she will sit out the 2026 season entirely, focusing all her energy on recovery. But before stepping away, she’s resolved to push for one last go in major tournaments — the World Championship and the Grand Slam — wanting to “make a bang” before her hiatus.
This decision is filled with both sadness and resolve. She knows she’s not at 100%, but it pains her to pull back from the sport she loves. Yet she also sees this break as essential — a chance to heal and come back stronger.
Beyond Health: Personal Turmoil
Adding to the drama, Sherrock recently experienced another blow — her relationship with fellow darts player Cameron Menzies reportedly ended after four years together. Neither has shared the full story publicly, but the timing of the split coincides with the peak of her health struggles and the pressures of competitive darts.
What’s Next for Her Legacy?
While fans fear this might mark a decline, Sherrock insists it’s not the end. She’s determined to return when her body allows it. In the meantime, her story is a reminder that even celebrated athletes fight unseen battles — physical, mental, and emotional.
As she steps away, the darts world holds its breath: will this break restore the champion we once saw? And when she returns, will she be the same unstoppable force, or something new — tempered by struggle, stronger for it?
