To everyone that came to see us at Parklife Adelaide,

I’m so so sorry that we had to cancel the show. I got really sick in Sydney and couldn’t make it to the last stop on the tour. Had a temperature, a sore throat, the lot. We’d had such a great time in Australia and it was such a crappy way to have to end it. I’m really sorry if we disappointed anyone. We’ll come and see you next time we’re down under.

lots of love from elly

Elly Jackson Speaks Out On Music Theft

La Roux singer Elly Jackson

Elly Jackson of checked in with fans on the group’s blog at MySpace on Wednesday (September 23), reacting to Lily Allen’s blog on illegal file sharing of music and its impact on the recording industry. Jackson writes:

I’m not sure that many people understand that when you sign a record deal, you are effectively in debt to your record company for that amount. It all has to be paid back. As the artist, you also pay for all overheads out of your own pocket. That includes all tour costs, recording costs, marketing costs and the wages of any musicians and crew you employ. Not cheap. The idea is that over time, you will make enough money in record and ticket sales to do this. But it is becoming more and more difficult for new artists to get out of debt when people think that stealing their music is ok.
