Lana Del Rey Reveals Her Unreleased Album and Poetry Book Were Stolen a Few Months Ago
Alexa, play “Summertime Sadness.”
Lana Del Rey has revealed that her unreleased album and poetry book were both stolen from her car while she was out in Los Angeles.
“A few months ago, I parked my car on Melrose Place,” she said in a now-deleted Instagram post. “I stepped away for a minute and the one time I let my backpack inside my car, someone broke all the windows and took it.”
She continued, “I had to remotely wipe the computer that had my 200-page book for Simon and Schuster, which I didn’t have backed up on a cloud because we do not have any cloud systems that we access and despite that people are still able this week to remotely access my phone and leak our songs and personal photos and I just want to mention that despite all of this happening, I am confident in the record to come and despite so many safety factors in so many different levels I really want to persist and make the best art I can.”
Del Rey urged fans to not listen to any of the unreleased music if it gets leaked. “Please don’t listen to the music if you hear it because it’s not coming out yet,” she said. “And, in terms of the book, I loved the book that I lost with all of my heart and put a lot of passion into it. And in terms of the camcorders, we shall see what happens with that.”
In June, her manager, Ben Mawson, confirmed new music was on the way, but it’s quite possible the robbery may have caused a delay.
