Chan Marshall famously took years and spent a shit-ton of her own money to record the new Cat Power album Sun. That decision made for a great album, but it may have bit her in the ass financially. Marshall was planning on launching a European tour next month, but now she claims that a combination of bankruptcy and angioedema (facial swelling, basically) may have put those plans on hold.
As Pitchfork points out, Marshall recently posted a photo on Instagram with the following caption:
I MAY HAVE TO CANCEL MY EUROPEAN TOUR DUE TO BANKRUPTCY & MY HEALTH STRUGGLE WITH ANGIOEDEMA. I HAVE NOT THROWN IN ANY TOWEL, I AM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT BEST I CAN DO. HEART BROKEN. WORKED SO HARD. GOT SICK DAY AFTER "SUN" CAME OUT & BEEN STRUGGLING TO KEEP ALL POINTS OF ME IN EQUILIBRIUM : MIND, SPIRIT, BODY HEALTHY CENTERED & GROUNDED. I AM DOING THE BEST I CAN. I FUCKING LOVE THIS PLANET. I REFUSE TO GIVE UP. THOUGH I MAY NEED TO RESTRATAGIZE FOR MY SECURITY & HEALTH.
