“Utterly Devastated” Lykke Li Cancels Remaining Tour Dates

Image Courtesy of Josh OlinsLykke Li is taking a break.  She's canceled all of her 2015 tour dates, citing exhaustion after seven years of constant touring.

"I am utterly devastated. Sometimes we push and push but the body simply won't follow," Li writes on her Instagram. "I gave it all I had, my body, heart and soul. After seven years of touring, my health is screaming/begging for me to listen/heal/slow down."

Li had seven performances scheduled in 2015 as part of the multi-city Laneway Festival. Her first show was scheduled for January 24 in Singapore.

"Thank you for listening to my bleeding heart and watching me dance in the dark these past years. I love you," Li adds. "I will come back. Stronger. But for now my loves, I have to rest."

Li has been touring in support of her latest album, 2014's I Never Learn, which peaked at number five on Billboard's Alternative Albums chart.
