But fear not, because the tour is to be rescheduled later this year.

Frontier Touring made the announcement on their Facebook page, confirming Lorde will be unable to perform her Australian tour dates as she needs to return to New Zealand to recuperate after falling ill.

“It is with much regret that Frontier Touring announce that Lorde has had to postpone her upcoming Australian tour, scheduled to commence in Melbourne this Thursday 24 April,” the statement read.

“Under doctor’s advice, Ella Yelich-O’Connor will return to New Zealand for immediate rest and recuperation in order to regain complete health and continue touring for the rest of the year.”

Lorde also took to Twitter to apologise to her fans.

For starters, she did one hell of a performance at the Grammys earlier this year and won Song of the Year:
