Lykke Li announces a break from music

Irish fans who made it to Lykke Li's gig in Vicar St in November were very, very lucky indeed; it appears as though there may not be another opportunity to catch the Swedish star for quite some time.
Taking to Instagram to send a message to her supporters, she explained that she will be taking an indefinite hiatus. "Sometimes we push and push but the body simply won’t follow," she writes. "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.”
A packed schedule was set to see her continue touring in Australia in the coming weeks, but those plans have now been scrapped. She has, however, promised that she will return, writing: “I will come back. Stronger.”
