LADY SOVEREIGN issues apology, press release
Lady Sovereign cut short a PA set in Brooklyn last Friday night at Studio B following her performance supporting Gwen Stefani at PNC Bank Arts Centre, New Jersey. Lady Sovereign cut her performance to just 2 tracks (she was booked to perform 4 tracks). She was only able to get on stage at 3:30am, two hours later than planned due to her tour bus breaking down on the way to Studio B (a fanbelt needed replacing). Following a long day driving from Bristow, VA and having already performed at the PNC Bank Arts Centre that night, tiredness set in and an emotional and short performance followed. Lady Sov says "I know how stupid i must have looked on Friday, I was tired and not in the mood, having a bad day. But that's no excuse for letting fans down, I'm sorry to those that were at Studio B to see me".
Lady Sovereign will return for a highly anticipated New York performance on July 7, at the exclusive opening night celebration of Spiegeltent. We will have the tour bus replaced prior to the event, and a great show is guaranteed.

No talent. No class. She should have had visa problems instead of some of these other artists. "She was booked to perform 4 tracks" and couldn't make it to the end. What a joke!

Isn't she supposed to do attitude stuff like this?
It's her style man! (or woman)

Fucking pathetic. She had to do TWO more songs and could have just walked off-stage after that. Instead she has her little fucking hissy-fit and fucks over everyone that paid good money to see her.
And now people are told "a great show is guaranteed" at Spigeltent... which is a 30 dollar show. Fuck her. Any smart person won't spend any more money on her talentless ass.

This "musician" is more manufactured than the computer I'm typing this on.

It's her style? She pulled this crap in Philly in 05 @ Silk. She is a spoiled little brat. She is lucky anyone would actually pay to see her perform. Sov, go home!

Gee whiz, mellow out, babydoll! It's not like you're curing cancer or feeding the hungry with your warmed-over rap schtick.

i'm sorry to (/for) anyone who went to see her as well.

Maybe she was starting to realize that her 15 minutes of ill-deserved fame has just run out.

Uh oh Lady Sov--looks like you've pissed off all the tastemakers.
Posted by Anonymous | May 25, 2007 8:08 AM
fuck her. she is nowhere NEAR talented enough to pull this shit. I say BOYCOTT!
I think the music world would be a better place without Lady Sov.

"I will NEVER forgive her! NEVER!!!!!"
Geez--some of you are *really* taking this a little too hard.

Hey at least she apologized. Who the fuck does that anymore?
I can't believe that people are still paying attention to her.
Posted by Richard Bacchus | May 25, 2007 11:31 AM
Everyone take a good look at that picture above. I mean REALLY stare at it for a few seconds. And then listen to her music, if you don't have any, just wait for a cell phone commercial to come on.
Now, are we finished yet?
Does anyone on BV actually like her music?
Lily Allen, Avril Lavigne, it's all the same-attitude over substance.
