AceShowbiz - Lana Del Rey revealed that she was dumped by her tour manager ahead of a headlining performance. After taking the stage at the 2024 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, the "Summertime Sadness" singer detailed 37 days of preparing her set for the music event without the tour manager.
On Tuesday, April 16, the 38-year-old singer/songwriter shared the story behind her successful performance at the festival, which was held at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California a few days prior. Making use of Instagram, she wrote a lengthy caption that read, "[Thank you] Emily for stepping up as tour manager when Pete quit for no reason after 15 years."
Lana went on to say, "Because he was butt hurt that I got 10 comped bikes for free from [Wally Crowder] and randomly decided he was more of a stage designer than a tour manager. Never got a phone call probably never will. Still grateful for the 15 years though." She continued, "No worries - 37 days was more than enough time to put together an entire headlining set all by ourselves. Not stressful at all. Way to go Emily you f**king killed it with grace."
Lana added, "Thank you to my managers Ben and Ed for making me laugh the entire way through everything for my whole freaking life even though none of it ever makes any sense. PS please send me an email If you decide to quit this year- 15 years is a long time for us too. thank you to Cody!, boss number two for always having my back and doing the most."
In the same lengthy caption, the "Say Yes to Heaven" singer also voiced her appreciation for fellow artists who have joined her during her performance. She penned, "Thank you guys. For f**king everything, [Jack Antonoff] and [Jon Batiste] and [Billie Eilish] for showing up for me."
Lana also uploaded a series of photos and videos, including ones from the performance. Some of the pictures saw her with Billie, Jon and Jack, all of whom joined her when hitting the main stage during the Friday, April 12 festival.
