Björk expands on festival cancellations

“i hope through the years i have earned enough tour karma points to get your support for this.”

Björk has revealed more about the reasons behind her disappointing tour cancellations.

She planned to headline La Route Du Rock on 15 August, Pitchfork Festival Paris on 30 October and Iceland Airwaves on 7 November, but axed the dates “due to a scheduling conflict”.

Now, in a Facebook post, she has expanded on why she won’t be appearing.

“singing this album has been intense and the internal clock of it different to the other ones .” she wrote. “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 tourkarma points to get your support for this .

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

best intentions

björk”
