Björk recently cancelled several shows in Europe because she is starting to have new ideas for songs and she wants to let those flow instead of forgetting them and letting the tour distract her. It definitely sucks for any European with a ticket to a Björk show, but it just means she's working on new music, and that's what it's all about right?
