ms. li has been sustaining some tour cancellation-worthy injuries as of late – she explains in a blog post:
“I had some kind of complete meltdown on Marks&Spencer in Glasgow on one of those very rare days off while on route….I was standing at an isle contemplating life and death and the struggles of being an artist/soul/woman/human being when the overbearingness sneaked up on me like Batman himself. I fell to the floor and so did the raspberries I had in my hand, the troubled breathing lead to some severe lumbago which ment I couldn’t move and had to lay straight for a few days. In a valium haze I took a flight back to my loved ones where a strong man cracked my holy spine loose and I was soon able to walk again. Little did I know it was my troubled hip joint that was the problem in the first place, so had to go back to a horizontal mode. My body then decided Easter was the perfect time to let a god damn flu blossom out, so I spent the whole easter praying to God to get better, drinking ginger tea while watching Apocalypse Now wishing nothing more then that I could have been on that stage with you.”
…even her explanations sound remarkably lykke li. the woman’s gonna be recovering for a bit, but she was able to knock out this killer performance of “get some” from her album wounded rhymes live on jools holland. nice bun, lady li.
