Lana Del Rey doesn't really have a clue what to do when she's on stage

  • September 3, 2012
  • Sam Hine

Authentic Chanteuse Lana Del Rey doesn't really know what she's doing when she's 'per­form­ing' on stage.

The 'Raise Me Up (Mississippi South)' hitmaker spoke to Vogue Australia (as quoted by the NME) about her feelings of singing live, admitting: "I love to take care of the songs – that's my natural place – then, when I get on stage that's not my element."

"Sometimes I kneel down because I am trembling or touch the audience because I don’t know what else to do," she went on to explain. "But the nice thing about the kids is that they feel bad for me, and pass me soft toys!"

A true performer, ladies and gentlemen.

Lana also had a bit to say about her future inten­tions in the world of work, noting how she "had a vision of being a writer for film and that's what [she's] doing now."

"Hopefully I will branch into film work and stay there. That will be my happy place. I'd like to stay in one place for a long time."

Well we'd like you to stay in the music business Lana, but we suppose you can't have everything.
