ONCE AGAIN ITS HAPPENING!

Sat 04 Jun 2011


ONCE AGAIN ITS HAPPENING!

Once again it's happening...

Note from sickbed!


You can't believe it and neither can I. My deepest sincerest apologies again. Lemme tell you the story. . .

I've been living on a tour bus for almost a month, traveling through America and Canada, doing many shows, throwing my heart out there but this time with the grand feeling someone was there catching it. Anyways, the tour has been going great but its still hard on your body, rainier then expected, thought summer was here but most often then not I found myself trapped soaking wet in a tiny leather jacket in my search for Kombucha.

Looking back on it now; WOW, MY AUDIENCE WAS BEEN FANTASTIC AND AMAZING? I LOVE YOU !

In the wonderful Napa Valley, my sound guy suddenly got hit by something mysterious that made him lose his voice entirely and all of the sudden half of the bus was coughing their guts out. I prayed to God and took as many remedies as I could to protect myself from that god damn flu that so many people around me has been hit by. LIFE OH LIFE! SAVE ME LORD, ARTISTS ARE NOT MENT TO BE HUMAN!

After a wonderful show in San Fransisco I only had one real show of my own to go so I thought I was homefree when it hit me , BOOM ! I was up all night on that bus with fever shivers from hell, listening to the sounds of my coughing bandmates. What comes around, goes around........ So scared cause I had the Wiltern that same night so I took my tiny ass to the doctor. Doctor told me I had multiple infections going, sinus as well as my throat as well as my respitatory systems as well as an ear infection and God knows what! M**********R!!! I hardly had a voice but I yelled, give me that shot that makes you superwoman for one night only! ! I simply cannot let them down! They would never forgive me!

So I got the shot as well as antibiotics and made it through my set on pure adrenaline.... Just to wake up and be way worse. My voice was now completely gone and once again I saw a doctor and yelled; give me a cortisone shot so I can sing on Jimmy Kimmel... ONE NIGHT ONLY! LIVE EVERYDAY LIKE YOUR LAST! And here I am again. I B A R E L Y M A D E I T T H R O U G H ..... I am now in bed with instructions to rest my vocal chords and my soul ( again god damn it!!!!!!!!) with nothing else to say but how awfully sorry I am but I simply can't sing right now, can hardly breathe, I am sick, I am human. Please forgive me.

I might have gone at it a bit too soon but you can't control everything in life.

DANCE WHILE YOU CAN, DANCE CAUSE YOU MUST, LOVE OUT OF LUST.....

I am really truly sorry for not being able to perform for you, you know there is nothing I would love more then belting it out in open air California!

L L LOVE ON PILLS.

I will make it up to you in some form. Either in chocolate or acapella's!

Life is a battlefield.

    I nearly DIED of FLU in 2009; as you have found it is VERY infectious - consider the Flu Jab - it will protect you and the combined jab has protection from Seasonal Flu
    and the more dangerous Swine Flu. IT WILL NOT GIVE YOU FLU - after my jab I never went down with flu. FLU is dangerous but you will beat it !

    get well soon, darling girl. i love you.

    Please don't take to heart YOUR fans' criticism... that are upset they weren't able to see you. They too have called in sick before,and are simply forgetting how they felt at that time. So I just wanted to say...ABOVE ALL ELSE, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. REST. Much Love and Light, Many xxx's and ooo's!

    stakkar vesle deg.

    å bli syk er ikke noe du gjør selv, det er noe som skjer, plutselig eller langsomt, som dukker opp og treffer, gjør deg svakere. ingenting du skal unnskylde for.

    ta vare på deg selv. det er det viktigste du kan gjøre.

    du og musikken din er i hjertet mitt hver dag.

    <3 kjersti

    Nothing is worse than living on a tour bus for getting sick. It's like being on an airplane but almost 24/7. You all breathe the same recycled air, if one gets sick, all get sick. Hope you feel better.
    Although I can understand the aggravation of the people who were denied seeing you in SB (the hostility though, not so much.) I've had that happen more than once with "same day cancellations and no rain ticket". Essentially the money was plucked from their wallet with no recourse for them. Plus they didn't get to do something they may have really been looking forward to.
    Not that you could have changed anything. It's bum deal all around. But I'm sure the promoter is laughing all the way to the bank. Unless you did get paid for the show. Then you should reschedule. That's what my band did. Although we were nothing on par with your production. A camper van and a
    u-haul isn't quite the same thing.

    Dear Lykke, you must understand that you're unique, and if you're sick, your harming yourself, so get better and take your time, i think that your fans understand you :)
    Love you and you're awesome.

    yep super bummed you couldn't make it to santa barbara; tee'd up a killer tailgate party with all the woot woot. I did get the radio memo ahead of time - must have been hard for you to send word out. No one likes to disappoint. All good tho little LL, just promise us you'll get back to our shangri la to perform your heart out- guarantee we'll take it in.

    God damn, glad I am rich from hard work and $80 is not that big a deal to me.

    That playlist posted is solid. Sam Cooke and Abner Jay = truth

    3 , body mind spirit , yeah ???

    Wanna make it up to me? How about free tix to your next show in the LA area. I waded through ungodly LA traffic to arrive in Santa Barbara on time to see you. Sitting through what seemed like hours of Cage the friggin' Elephant only to be sent home empty handed was pretty thoughtless considering I'm such a fan. I would have never gone had I known you were never intending to show. I'm not rich...I could use the $80 I spent to make that friday [not] happen :(

    Really? You call that an apology. It sounded more like masturbation. It sucks that your sick. But if you truly cared for your fans you would have let them know in advance that you would not be performing. I got the day off work, spent $40 on tickets, drove through traffic 3 hours to Santa Barbara to see you perform. Sat throught the worst performance/band Cage the Elephant, and was rudely disappointed when I realized you weren't performing. No one at Summer Fest announced it. I heard after the show you posted it on your twitter. Seriously? WHAT THE FUCK? FAIL.

    Lykke, you guys were absolutely perfect in Seattle, WA. I saw you a couple times before the show, I had a smile from ear to ear after that. I could not stop dancing. Please come back soon! I'm sorry to hear about everyone getting sick. Especially since it was such bad timing. Take care, and get well soon! You are still superwomen in my eyes! And I'm sure every other fan of yours thinks the same. Seattle loves you! :)

    Indeed, a battlefield it is, but thankfully we can choose if and when we want to go over the top. Relax, rest and wellness will return.

  • Added: Tue.07.06.2011 @ 18:01:44PM biskeeee

    rest up! we missed you in San Diego this Sunday, but the best way to make it up to us is to get better :D praying for you. God bless!

  • Added: Tue.07.06.2011 @ 17:44:23PM Larmonade

    L.L. - Hey! Get well soon!! The fans will be ok and so will you :) All the best and I hope you make it to Texas one of these days when you get to felling better. Peace.

    Hey, LL..get better with love, lemon and LOTS OF GARLIC! please, don't abuse yourself..
    God Bless you!

    Jag förstår att du inte vill ta en paus nu, ens några dagar, men var försiktig med alla preparat du får, och tänk på att din kropp måste vara stark utan dem. Vila tills du mår bättre (på riktigt alltså) och ta hand om dig själv. Alltid kropp och själ tillsammans. Dem går ihop, som du vet. Ta hand om båda, och du ska se vilka överjordiska upplevelser som universums strömmar dig in i, när du är i din renaste form. Tänk på det. Så snälla Lykke, vila och bli stark på alla sätt igen. Själsligt och fysiskt. Tack för att du är ren och genuin i en värld som inte är det. Lykke Li, det här är bara ett tips, men, jag tror du skulle må bra och kunna älska yoga. Ashtanga yoga till exempel, som är väldigt stimulerande och intensivt. Bara ett tips. Det förfinar högheten. Ta hand om dig själv Lykke. Både själsligt och kroppsligt. Om du gör det kommer du att få de renaste och starkaste resultat, ja, i ditt konstnärsskap.
    Sov, sov, sov...
