Björk Cancels Primavera Festival Shows

Already faced with several cancellations of tour dates which had already been scheduled, Björk has had to cancel her headlining sets at the Primavera Sound Festivals. With the singer being a headliner, the festival organizers are offering fans the chance to request a refund for day tickets, as long as they were purchased before May 10th.


A statement from Primavera organisers reads:


"After canceling some shows due to an inflamed nodule, Björk's specialist doctor advised her to keep resting and not to continue with the shows as they could bring a permanent damage to her voice."

"We are very sorry about any inconvenience this might bring, and appreciate your understanding. We wish Björk a quick and full recovery to continue enjoying her talent soon."


Her dates at the festivals were scheduled to take place on June 2nd at San Miguel Primavera Sound in Barcelona and June 9th at Optimus Primavera Sound in Porto, Portugal, but due to the ailment, she will not be able to make her previous arrangements.
