Lorde’s upcoming Australian tour, due to start in Melbourne on Thursday, has been postponed because Ella Yelich-O’Connor aka Lorde is ill.

In a statement Lorde said, ”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.”

Rescheduled dates are currently being worked on and will be announced soon.
