Lana Del Rey was too sick to sing at a gig last night

  • January 25, 2012
  • Mikey

Authentic Chanteuse Lana Del Rey cancelled her per­form­ance at MTV's Brand New For 2012 gig at Camden's KOKO last night.

The singer made the announce­ment an hour before she was due on stage, citing a mystery 'illness'. Her spokes­per­son said: "I'm really sorry to share that due to illness Lana Del Rey is regret­tably not able to perform."

Del Rey's no show meant that Charli XCX was the main support to The Maccabees whose frontman Orlando Weeks told the audience  "we're really sorry Lana Del Rey was too sick to be here tonight", to boos from the crowd.

The singer formerly known as Lizzy Grant has been in London promoting the release of 'Born To Die' for the past week.

Get 'well' soon Lana.
