Azealia Banks has cancelled all her summer festival shows

Azealia Banks has cancelled all her UK summer festival appear­ances so she can get on with finishing her album.

The 'NEEDSUMLUV (SXLND)' hitmaker was due to perform at (deep breath) Bestival, Rock Ness, Rough Beats, Parklife, Lovebox, BBC Radio 1's Hackney Weekend,Wakestock and the Reading and Leeds festivals, but will be holed up in a studio somewhere instead.

"A decision has been made by her new man­age­ment that she needs to get back into the studio and invest more time on her forth­com­ing debut album 'Broke With Expensive Taste'," read an official statement, reported here.

Well this is all going well isn't it.

UPDATE: According to her man­age­ment (as reported by NME), Azealia will still be per­form­ing at Radio 1's Hackney Weekend and Reading and Leeds, "but has unfor­tu­nately had to cancel her remaining UK festival appear­ances due to recording com­mit­ments. Her October UK headline tour will still go ahead as scheduled".
