Coachella must have wiped her out!
Lorde has been busily singing all over the world recently, but she’s been forced to put the mic down and step away from the stage.
The 17-year-old was supposed to play eight Australia shows, starting April 24th, but the docs told her to head back with her fellow Kiwis. Her promoter stated that she needed:
├óΓé¼┼ô… immediate rest and recuperation in order to regain complete health and continue touring for the rest of the year.├óΓé¼┬¥
But Lorde isn’t your average performer. She really felt badly about this, issuing a statement:
“It breaks my heart to have to postpone these shows as the band and I absolutely love playing to Australian crowds, and it was not a decision we made lightly. I know I need to focus on getting better in order to perform at my best. We’ll be with you as soon as we can, Aussies.”
And she also posted it on Twitter, so that everyone could read her apology:

“Gollum Girl Fitness”! LOLz!
Following this planned Australia tour, Lorde was going to be in the US for a May 17th concert in Baltimore. Hopefully she’s better by then!
Drink lots of tea and don’t talk! Only write things down for people! Ha!
Get well soon!
