Lana Del Rey has cancelled her upcoming UK and European tour due to illness.
The tour was due to begin in Amsterdam tomorrow (February 21), and featured a show at London’s O2 Arena next week (February 25).
Revealing the news in a statement, Lana said: “Sorry to let everyone down so last minute but this illness has taken me by surprise and have totally lost my singing voice.
“Dr has advised 4 weeks off for the moment. I hate to let everyone down but I need to get well. Love Lana”
It’s not clear yet whether the dates are set to be rescheduled. Customers are advised to contact their original point of purchase for refund enquiries.
The cancelled tour was in support of Lana’s 2019 album ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell’, which NME gave a five-star review, and labelled the third best album of 2019.
Lana picked up the Best Album In The World award at the NME Awards 2020 in London last week. In her acceptance speech, she said: “Thank you so fucking much. I cannot tell you how much this award means to me.
“Youâve supported me since 2011, put me on my first cover in London⌠Honestly, I was thinking about it, and without you guys I donât even know how much music Iâd be making.
“Youâve continued to support me through all of the madness, and Iâm just super grateful to you guys.”
