Lykke Li is taking a break from performing, cancels upcoming tour dates

05 January 2015, 18:20 | Written by Laurence Day

Lykke Li has cancelled forthcoming tour dates and made a decision to take a break from the demanding on-the-road lifesytle, citing exhaustion.

She was supposed to tour as part of the Laneway Festival, a travelling festival that will make stops in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, but has pulled out of all dates.

Explaining her choices via Instagram, the singer-songwriter wrote:

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

Her latest record I Never Learn is out now; you can read our Track-by-Track guide here.
