The Icelandic singer scrapped the remainder of her tour dates in Europe due to a "scheduling conflict" and on Sunday (09Aug15) she took to Facebook.com to offer up a further explanation.

She wrote, "Singing this album (Vulnicura) 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 (of the album) and now this sudden closure (of dates) 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."

Bjork also revealed she is working hard on her next album, adding, "The best most natural pathway to go is to let this beast flow its natural course and start anew."
