Lorde won the award for Best New Artist at the iHeartRadio Awards last night - but couldn't accept it in person due to her poor health.
The New Zealand singer accepted the gong via a filmed speech from her sick bed, saying: "I'm so sorry I couldn't be there tonight. I am in New Zealand on house rest because I've been really sick and my mum pretty much only let me out of bed this morning to film this speech. Forgive me."
Watch the video for Lorde's 'Team' below:
Lorde has been forced to postpone her Australian tour, which was due to kick off on April 24, due to "a nasty chest infection and general ill health".
"I am so so gutted to have to do this but my parents and my team stepped in telling me I needed a break after being non-stop since the Grammys in January," she told fans via Twitter. "We will 100% be back for this tour (most likely in November) so don't worry about that."
Lorde recently announced a one-off UK show, taking place in June in London. The 'Royals' star will play Brixton Academy on June 6.
