Elin Ruth Sigvardsson checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (October 7), apologizing for having to cancel three shows this week due to illness. The Swedish singer songwriter tells readers:

I’m so sorry to inform you that the 3 shows in Denmark (today+Friday+Saturday) is canceled due to illness. I thought I would make it, but I have now totally lost my voice, as a result of a protracted cold & vocal cord problems. I really hope to come to Copenhagen, Odense and Århus at a later time, and I’m sorry about any inconvenience & disappointment this may have caused. Much love. e

Elin Ruth Sigvardsson updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Saturday (August 22), discussing her fourth album. The Swedish singer songwriter tells readers:

I’ve just finished my new album, ‘Cookatoo Friends’! It will be out on October 7. You can preorder an exclusive, limited edition of it here already. =) It includes an EP with acoustic versions of some of my older songs, in a deluxe pink packaging. First come, first served!

It’s been a trip recording this album. I’ve worked closely together with Rolf Klinth, but I have produced & played most of it myself. I’ve also started my own record label, Divers Avenue. These ingredients makes this album extra special & close to my heart. It really feels like my own project, in rain or sunshine…=)
