Sky Ferreira has had to delay her video for 'Guardian' on account of complications involving health issues and scheduling problems.

The singer-songwriter announced plans to release a new film and song back in May, with the film being written and directed with Weeknd and Ariel Pink collaborator, Grant Singer.

The video for 'Guardian' will be the first visual release for Ferreira's new album, Masochism - the follow up to 2013's Night Time, My Time.

Today (27 July), Ferreira has posted on her Tumblr, where you can read the full statement, to report that the project has had to be delayed for a number of reasons, including "health issues".

Her explanation was broken up into a number of parts starting with: "It is a very big deal for me & a whole new chapter musically/visually/mentally so I want it to be released & properly made."

Apparently it's going to be a very significant cast: "What I’m doing for the video has to have a very specific group of very special people to make it what it is meant to be, so that means getting everyone to be available at the same time to do so."

Addressing her physical wellbeing, she continued, "I had a bit of health issues within the last few months so I needed to get better before I started releasing & playing shows again without complications etc."

Finally, she joked, "It wouldn’t be a release from me if it wasn’t delayed (KIDDING!)."
