Bad news for Lykke Li fans, the Swedish star has pulled a string of live dates due to ill health and to 'take a break' from the strains of constant touring.
The 'Get Some' singer, who released one of 2014's best albums with I Never Learn, has cancelled upcoming shows in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore due to tour life 'catching up with her'.
"I’m incredibly sorry to announce that I’m no longer able to play Australia, New Zealand and Singapore for Laneway Festival," she wrote on Facebook. "It’s been a long time coming, but unfortunately tour life has caught up with me and it’s been recommended that I take break. I’m devastated but I know I will return."
She then took to Instagram to further explain the gravity of her situation:
"I AM UTTERLY DEVASTATED, SOMETIMES WE PUSH AND PUSH BUT THE BODY SIMPLY WON'T FOLLOW. I GAVE IT ALL I HAD, MY BODY, HEART AND SOUL. AFTER 7 YEARS OF TOURING MY HEALTH IS SCREAMING/BEGGING FOR ME TO LISTEN/HEAL/SLOW DOWN.THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UNDERSTANDING. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY BLEEDING HEART AND WATCHING ME DANCE IN THE DARK THESE PAST YEARS. I LOVE YOU. I WILL COME BACK. STRONGER. BUT FOR NOW MY LOVES, I HAVE TO REST. U CAN'T ALWAYS "WIN".... TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES!!! YOU MEAN THE WORLD TO ME. CHOOSE LIGHT AND LIFE! LIFE IS EBB N FLOW, HIGH N LOW. BUT WE KEEP ON. I WILL MISS YOU SO. X"
