Bjork Working On New Material

Issues new statement to fans...

Bjork called off a host of live engagements last week, citing scheduling difficulties as the reason for pulling out of La Route Du Rock, Pitchfork Paris and more.

The Icelandic singer decided to go ahead with Wilderness festival at the weekend, playing a typically inspirational set.

Following this, Bjork posted a message on Facebook thanking fans and indicating her intention to write and record new material immediately.

The singer wrote: "singing this album has been intense and the internal clock of it different to the other ones . it has sort of had to behave in its own little way . both the urgency of the leak and now this sudden closure for reasons beyond my control is characteristic of that . i hope through the years i have earned enough tourkarma points to get your support for this ."

She added: "i have started writing new songs and feel the best most natural pathway to go is to let this beast flow its natural course and start anew."

The message in full:

dear audience

i would like to thank everyone for the concert last night !!!!!! i have no words to describe how grateful i am for this tour : i would like to thank the crew and the promoters and the musicians and the management , the designers . and most of all my personal little team and the audience !!! these have truly been some of my most sublime moments !! singing this album has been intense and the internal clock of it different to the other ones . it has sort of had to behave in its own little way . both the urgency of the leak and now this sudden closure for reasons beyond my control is characteristic of that . i hope through the years i have earned enough tourkarma points to get your support for this .

i have started writing new songs and feel the best most natural pathway to go is to let this beast flow its natural course and start anew

best intentions
