Marina And The Diamonds Confirms Temporary Break

Marina And The Diamonds will take a break from music, Marina Diamandis has confirmed.

During a Twitter Q&A under the hashtag #FAQINHELL, Diamandis told her fans that following her 2015 album FROOT and subsequent ‘Neon Nature’ tour, she'd be taking a step back for the time being.

She told one fan that the hiatus was something she needs to do “creatively" after spending a year and a half recording and touring the album. She reassured her fans that this wasn’t the end, but that she will be away "for a short while".

"In terms of taking a break, no, that doesn't feel weird at all," Marina said. "I've been traveling for a year and a half, and it's something I need to do creatively."

She added: "It feels very bittersweet ending this era, because I've enjoyed it so much, and it's been so helpful for me creatively.

"It's been an absolute dream. I achieved so many things that I've been trying to for many years. Now, I'm gonna take a little break to do some different things. I've been on the road for seven years. I've had an amazing, amazing experience. This isn't goodbye for good, it's just for a short while."
