Sky Ferreira has a really sore throat, which is why she cancelled a 'gig' at SXSW

  • March 18, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

skyferreira-250x187Sky Ferreira would like the world to know that she cancelled one of her 'gigs' at SXSW because she was genuinely ill and not because she couldn't be arsed.

In a post on her Facebook page under the heading, ""Canceled remaining gigs due to being "sick".…"", the 'Lost In My Bedroom' hitmaker said the following words in the following order:

1.It was one gig.
2.I probably shouldn't have done the 3 before that after I lost my voice the first time…Which happened in the middle of a set. I went to a doctor and was told I'd be fine to sing after blood test & shots in my ass. Turns out that wasn't the case and now the left side of my throat is messed up & I have a ear infection. My voice happens to be in bad condition because I kept singing. (My fault)
3.If I didn't want to play SXSW because I didn't feel like it or whatever…I wouldn't have came at all & canceled 3 weeks ago.
4. I would never pretend to be sick to get out of something. Canceling one show was hard enough.
Thanks.

This follows the can­cel­la­tion of her last show at SXSW, which she confirmed via the medium of Twitter on Saturday.

Sky is due to start an American tour with How To Dress Well tomorrow.
