Kidney Battle Unveiled: What’s REALLY Keeping Fallon Sherrock Off the Oche?

When Fallon Sherrock suddenly announced she was taking a break from darts, the internet did what it does best—spiraled into a frenzy. Injury? Burnout? Secret project with Netflix? Nope. Turns out, the reason was far more personal—and far more courageous.

In a raw and emotional statement, the Queen of the Palace dropped the bombshell: she’s been battling kidney disease. Not some recent diagnosis, either—Fallon’s been quietly dealing with the condition since 2014. That’s right, for over a decade, she’s been juggling pressure-packed matches, TV appearances, and historic wins… all while managing a serious chronic illness.

And yet, no one had a clue.

So what’s the scoop? Fallon revealed that her condition requires daily medication and takes a toll on her energy levels—especially when she’s traveling and competing week in, week out. The “moon face” (a known side effect of steroid medication) and visible fatigue weren’t just by-products of a grueling darts schedule. They were silent signals of an ongoing health battle.

But if you think she’s asking for sympathy, think again. Fallon didn’t just walk away—she made a power move. Taking control of her health, she pulled herself out of the Women’s World Matchplay and hit pause on her own terms. Classy. Brave. Boss-level energy.

And still, fans were floored. How could someone so fierce, so laser-focused, be quietly struggling behind the scenes? Easy—because Fallon Sherrock isn’t your average darts player. She’s a trailblazer who made headlines by beating men on the biggest stage, breaking barriers for women in the sport, and now… breaking the silence on a condition that too often gets ignored.

Naturally, the revelation sparked a wave of support—and speculation. Will she be back soon? Will this affect her career long-term? Is there a comeback already in motion? Fallon’s been mum on a timeline, but one thing is certain: she’s not done yet.

If anything, this pause might just be the prelude to a full-blown phoenix moment. You don’t earn a title like “Queen of the Palace” by backing down when things get tough. And let’s be real—when Fallon does return, you know she’s coming back with fire, precision, and probably a few jaw-dropping wins up her sleeve.

So don’t count her out—this battle may have taken her off the oche temporarily, but it’s only sharpening her aim for what’s next.
