Following Saturday’s tour cancellation and statement by First Aid Kit, we’re still awaiting further news of what has happened. The full statement read as follows:

“We’re devastated to have to cancel the planned summer dates this year. We were super excited to play, but because of unforeseen medical circumstances, we simply cannot do the shows. All will be okay and we look forward to seeing you soon again. Lots of love and magic, K & J”

So far, we don’t know who’s been affected by these “unforeseen medical circumstances” (although we are given reassurances that “all will be okay”), however, there are some tentative indications it might be Klara.

Both Klara and Johanna have personal Instagram accounts. Klara’s account has been completely inactive for a couple of weeks now, which is unusual for her. On Friday, Johanna posted pictures of herself and some friends singing. The pictures were accompanied by the following comment:

“So emotional after a beautiful evening with @emiliavicenta @siricarlen & @wherearetheunicorns. Thank you for creating your art. Thank you for helping me feel the strength of female community in hard times. We cried and we sang and we’re all stronger for it.”

Whether these words are related to what has happened or not, we don’t know.

Klara is known to be diabetic – a condition which has a risk of various complications. Earlier this year, First Aid Kit completed a gruelling 120 date world tour.

Whatever the circumstances, we hope for a speedy recovery.
