Bjork has revealed the reason why she recently cancelled a number of tour dates, citing the intensity of playing new album Vulnicura live.
After headline shows at La Rock Du Rock, Pitchfork Festival, both in France, and Iceland Airwaves were pulled last week, a statement offered "a scheduling conflict beyond [her] control" as reason for the cancellation.
Bjork has taken to Facebook, however, to explain the decision. She said: "Singing this album has been intense and the internal clock of it different to the other ones . it has sort of had to behave in its own little way. both the urgency of the leak and now this sudden closure for reasons beyond my control is characteristic of that. i hope through the years i have earned enough tour karma points to get your support for this."
She also addressed the subject of new material, adding: "I have started writing new songs and feel the best most natural pathway to go is to let this beast flow its natural course and start anew."
Despite the handful of cancellations, Bjork did perform at Wilderness Festival as planned over the weekend. Check out photos of her stunning show here.
