Lykke Li cancels tour dates, citing exhaustion and bad health

Lykke Li has announced a halt to her current world tour, citing exhaustion.

Cancelling appearances in New Zealand, Singapore and Australia’s Laneway Festival, the Swedish star has announced plans to take a break from a tour that started this time last year, around 2014 LP ‘I Never Learn’.

Taking to Instagram, Lykke posted the following statement to fans, explaining her decision to pull dates:

“I am utterfly devestated, 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.”

Last month saw Lykke covering Drake’s ‘Hold On, We’re Going Home’ as part of her world tour - now, it looks like she really is going home.
