Lana Del Rey is not sick at all incurable diseases. She is simply extremely susceptible to anxiety and death phobia. In an interview, this magazine“Billboard” in connection with the release of the album “Honeymoon” (“ Honeymoon") in September, Lana admitted that in recent years she has been experiencing panic attacks more and more often.

“Sometimes it’s hard for me to continue working because I know I’m going to die. Something happened over the past three years and panic attacks began to happen more often. I feel worse and worse."

“I have always been susceptible to such attacks. – the singer continues. – I remember when I was 4 years old, I saw a show on TV in which a person was killed. I turned to my parents and asked: “Are we all going to die?” They said: “Yes.” I was inconsolable! I started crying and said, 'We have to do something.'"

“I went to a psychotherapist three times. But I feel best in the recording studio, when I'm writing or singing."

When asked if having children would calm her down, Del Rey replied: “I don’t think so. But sometimes the sight of children calms me down. I think I took after my mother - in the sense that I make lists - to calm and reward myself. You know how it is: I finished this, and now I’ll do this - I’ll go for a walk on the beach or swim in the ocean. And I swim, although I myself am terrified that I am doing this. Because I'm deathly afraid of sharks."

Unexpectedly, Lana Del Rey found psychological support in the person of Yannis Philippakis, the leader of a British dream-pop group from Oxford. He described their first meeting: “Lana was in Paris and came to dinner with our mutual friend. I was excited because I deify her. I couldn't say a word at dinner. I felt like a sweating teenager and wanted to hide under the table. The world is a better place because Lana Del Rey lives in it."

The singer, in turn, said a lot of compliments to the group and admitted that she really likes the track “Give It All.” Perhaps these conversations will end in a collaboration between the band and Lana Del Rey. The musicians found this idea great, but expressed doubt whether such a project would interest the singer. One of the group members, Edwin Congreave, honestly admitted: “If I had the choice of hanging out on my yacht with Lana or working with the guys from Oxford, I would choose the yacht.”

Biography

Lana Del Rey is an American singer, real name Elizabeth Woolridge Grant, born June 21, 1986 in New York. She began her singing career in 2008 as a simple neighbor girl with a guitar at the ready. In 2011, she began performing under a pseudonym, which was made up of the names of the singer Lana Turner and the name of the Ford Del Rey car, which was successful in Latin America in the eighties. Under the influence of the producer, she also dramatically changed her image, becoming an exquisite retro beauty: plump lips, extra-long eyelashes, vampire nails, patent leather shoes. Fame came to Lana in the summer of 2011 after the release of the video clip “Video Games,” which was viewed 600 thousand times on the Internet within three weeks. Her voice is very reminiscent of Nancy Sinatra’s velvety contralto – so much so that the singer herself calls her style “Gangsta Nancy Sinatra”.

In 2009, still under the name Lizzie Grant, she released the mini-album “Kill Kill”. With producer David Kahne, she also recorded a full-length album, which was sold online for two months in 2010, after which it was withdrawn from sale.

Lana Del Rey's first concert took place at The Box (New York) on September 21, 2011. That same year, the debut single "Video Games"/"Blue Jeans" was released by Stranger Records on vinyl on October 10 and digitally the following day. It reached number nine in the UK and number three in the Netherlands.

In October 2011, Lana Del Rey received an award from Q magazine in the special category " Future star", in 2012 - British music award in the category "International Breakthrough".

Critics believe that one of the reasons for Lana’s paradoxical success is her magnificent, meticulously thought-out image and original mischievous lyrics, as if taken from classic American westerns. And, of course, a soft, recognizable voice.

At the beginning of 2018, Lana Del Rey, by invitation, accepted the album “Unmasked: The Platinum Collection”, which the legendary composer

Story

In an interview with the London Evening Standard in 1966, at the height of The Beatles' popularity, John Lennon talked to the reporter about religion, which - in particular Christianity - he did not particularly like and considered a dying ideology. To support his point, Lennon pointed to the fact that even The Beatles were more popular than Jesus at that point in time. Taken out of context, the phrase no longer sounded like an argument, but rather simple boasting - and even blasphemous.

Quote

“Christianity will go away. It will melt and evaporate. I don't even need to try to argue on this topic; I'm right, and history will show that it will be so. Yes, even we are now more popular than Jesus - I don’t know, however, which will sink into oblivion first - rock and roll or Christianity. In general, Jesus was fine, it was his disciples who turned out to be so thick-headed - and the way they distort all his teachings ruins them for me.”

Consequences

A couple of months later, the interview was published in the USA - Datebook magazine came out with the phrase “I don’t know what will sink into oblivion first - rock and roll or Christianity” on the cover, and the quote “We are more popular than Jesus” was included in the title of the article. Immediately after this, the songs of The Beatles were banned on radio stations in two states, then bans on concerts began, the Vatican called the group “satanic,” religious fanatics and Ku Klux Klansmen began to demonstrate against the musicians. To resolve the conflict, the group even had to give a separate press conference, but it didn’t really improve the situation, because instead of an apology, Lennon once again tried to explain his position to people who did not want to listen to him at all. 10 years later, Lennon recalled the incident in a completely different way: they say, thank Jesus for putting a spoke in our wheels then and our life did not turn into an endless tour - and indeed, if not for this scandal, The Beatles could have to remain just a good rock 'n' roll band that, say, would never have recorded the Revolver album.

Pete Townshend: “A little thing like the death of fans is not a problem for us”

Story

In December 1979, The Who performed at music festival in Cincinnati turned into a tragedy: listeners mistook the sound check for the beginning of the concert and rushed to the stage in a crowd, 11 people died in a stampede. The group was not told anything about this at that moment in order to avoid the cancellation of the concert and even greater casualties due to possible unrest on this occasion. A couple of months later, when a reporter The Rolling Stone asked band leader Pete Townshend about how this event would affect the future of the band, Pete suddenly responded very harshly.

Quote

“It seems the world doesn't quite understand how bloodthirsty and brutal The Who are. He doesn’t understand our determination and strength. It seems to everyone that we are constantly engaged in soul-searching, that we are weak, that we have a lot of phobias; and like everyone who really loves rock music, we spend a lot of time worrying about its fate. But what was truly amazing for us, I mean, was the fact that when we were first told that 11 guys had died, we slacked for a second. But only for a second. Then we said, like, screw it, we're not going to let something like that stop us. We needed to treat it like that [to continue].”

Consequences

Townsend was lucky that it was 1980 and not 2010 - and his words were not replicated and condemned by the entire Internet. But many of the fans did not understand how to react to them. Townsend clarified his words a little later: they say, the group actually did everything possible, and helped the families of the victims, and sent flowers to the funeral, and generally supported them in all respects, but this did not mean that they now had to go on forever and portray sad faces about this. Even later, in his biography, Townsend tried to justify himself even more stupidly - they say that in this interview he tried to use PR technologies, “deal with such press issues” and “be ironic,” but it didn’t work, that’s bad luck.

Mariah Carey: “I want to be thin, like the starving children in Africa”

Story

In an interview with the Cupcake website in 1996, the singer talked about how she would like to help all the children of the world and, in particular, said that African children at least do not have problems with excess weight.

Quote

“God, I still want to do so many things. Sometimes it seems to me that all this money and success only prevents me from doing something really important - children. When I watch TV and see all these poor starving children, I can't stop crying. I mean, of course, I would like to be as thin, but only without flies, death and all this.”

Consequences

After such a statement, interviews from an unknown site began to be reprinted by everyone - in particular, The Independent newspaper. Everyone was indignant at Mariah’s hypocrisy and stupidity, although it was not she who was stupid here, but people who believed that one of the most popular singers in the world at that time could even give an interview to an unknown site, and even in 1996, when no one took the Internet seriously. Of course, all these answers were a playful invention of the authors, but they coincided so closely with the image of Carey that formed in the minds of the listeners that no one thought that they could be untrue. In principle, Mariah never had any particular reason to fight this image (well, it developed and developed), so she never bothered herself by refuting the quote.

East 17's Brian Harvey: "Ecstasy is normal!"

Story

In 1997, the news radio station Radio News broadcast a regular, boring broadcast about the dangers of drugs and all that jazz, calling celebrities during the broadcast and extracting from them the same regular and boring statements about how drugs kill. One of the speakers on the question was Brian Harvey, a member of the popular boy band East 17, whose answer was a bit unexpected.

Quote

“I once took 12 tablets and nothing, then I drove home myself. I obeyed the speed limit and everything was fine with the car. This is generally a harmless pill; it will not harm you in any way. I don't see a problem here. Why 12? Well, the thing is that when you get one, you go somewhere to hang out, have a great time - well, that’s what people want to do. And if it makes you feel better, you can use it to occupy your weekend with something, you can go and have a lot of fun - well, why not then? Life is too short, after all."

Consequences

Rash words actually cost the group their career - Brian’s statement was loudly criticized by Prime Minister John Mayor the very next day, and approximately every second newspaper came out with the headline “East 17 member is a moral monster” - and all this despite the image of sweet and kind boys. Harvey himself spent the next couple of weeks tirelessly giving interviews about how wrong he was and what stupidity he had said, but this did not save the group’s reputation, and it soon broke up, after some time falling into an endless cycle of reunions and breakups, which few people cared about anymore. Harvey, after this incident, realized that he could not say anything worse, so he became one of the funniest speakers in British pop music and constantly gave out quotes like “Mel C is an idiot, and Richard Ashcroft’s whining makes me want to cut my wrists.”

Korn's James "Munky" Shaffer: 'Hitler Went to Heaven'

Story

In 2002, in response to a seemingly rhetorical question from a Metal Hammer magazine correspondent, “You don’t think Hitler went to heaven, do you?” The Korn guitarist suddenly replied that yes, he thinks so. What he was really thinking about then is unclear.

Quote

“I think, yes, it’s true, Hitler went to heaven (if there is such a thing as heaven). He believed that what he was doing was good and correct, and I think that if deep down in your soul you are confident that you are right, then you cannot be wrong!”

Consequences

Schaffer was actually lucky - the majority of the metal public in general, and Korn fans in particular, do not care about the beliefs of their idols, and the characteristic “went to heaven” is not necessarily considered positive in the subculture. Moreover, in the same interview, Shaffer apologized to the world for helping them become famous in their time Limp group Bizkit, so after these words they were ready to forgive him and much more. But, of course, within a few weeks the guitarist was attacked by almost all media in all countries. A little later, the musician made a statement: “The fate of Hitler and his afterlife can only be decided higher powers, not by me or anyone else. I apologize to anyone who was offended by my comments." In general, of course, it was a so-so apology, but it suited everyone - and that’s okay.

Philip Kirkorov: “Your pink blouse, tits and microphone irritate me”

Story

In May 2004, during a press conference in Rostov-on-Don Russian singer and so he was clearly not in the mood, and the question of journalist Irina Aroyan “Why are there so many remakes in your work” completely drove him crazy.

Quote

“That’s it, I don’t want to talk to you anymore, next question. I just don't like talking to non-professionals<…>I don't want you to take pictures of me! You are bothering me. Your pink blouse, your tits and your microphone annoy me.<…>Yes, I... [don’t care] how you write, just like you! I don’t like non-professionals; non-professionals have nothing to do here. Do you want me to leave here now? I will leave... But I won’t leave because I respect your other colleagues. And you will leave here! That's it, I got up and left here... [far]!

Consequences

When the journalist expelled by Kirkorov left the hall, the singer’s security confiscated all her recording equipment - but, of course, other recordings of the conflict were preserved. Kirkorov, not yet accustomed to the digital era, apparently had no idea how quickly information could spread on the Internet - very soon the video from the conference hit the network, and from there it spread across the airwaves of TV channels and radio stations. Many journalists and publications declared a boycott of Kirkorov, and all concerts until the end of the year were completely disrupted. Aroyan sued the singer, and eventually won - she deliberately did not ask for compensation for moral damage, so the court decided only to collect a fine of 60,000 rubles from Kirkorov in favor of the state. At first the artist refused to apologize, but to establish a concert and social life he succeeded only after a public apology to the journalist at the Golden Gramophone Awards in early 2005. Although even after this, Philip Bedrosovich had many more adventures associated with his incontinence.

Kanye West: 'George Bush doesn't care about blacks'

Story

About a million people are connected to Kanye West similar stories, and for one of his antics (when he burst onto the stage during the Grammy Awards, interrupted Taylor Swift's speech and began to be indignant at the unfair distribution of awards), Barack Obama himself called him an asshole. But it was still not an interview. Kanye tried to repeat John Lennon's trick by starring as Jesus for the cover Rolling Stone, but he did not achieve a reaction similar to that caused by The Beatles - religious fanatics and Ku Klux Klansmen were already tired of fighting pop culture. A truly awkward situation arose in early September 2005, when, a few days after Hurricane Katrina had virtually destroyed New Orleans(and, coincidentally, a week after the release of Late Registration), NBC held a telethon to help the victims. Kanye was supposed to come out with comedian Mike Myers and give his usual inspirational speech from a teleprompter, but instead he decided to accuse the entire country of racism.

Quote

“I am disgusted by the way we are portrayed in the media. You see a black family, they immediately say: “They are looting.” You see the white one: “They are looking for food.” And, you know, that's why we had to wait five days [for the government to send federal aid] because most of the victims were black.<…>George Bush doesn't even care about blacks!”

Consequences

Puzzled Myers live tried to pretend that nothing was happening, at some point West’s microphone was simply cut off, and in the replays of the program his attack was simply cut out. But the bomb had already exploded anyway: all media from the BBC to The New York Times wrote about the incident, group The Legendary K-O recorded a song, “George Bush Doesn’t Care About Black People,” that samples Kanye’s speech, and NPR spent an entire lengthy broadcast discussing whether Bush really doesn’t care about black people. In order not to escalate the conflict, NBC invited West a week later to appear on the Saturday Night Live show, where the same speech was also good-naturedly ridiculed. The trick also greatly contributed to the growth of sales of the album “Late Registrarion”. Kanye, of course, did not retract his words; two years later, he explained his action by saying that, like many other Americans, at that moment he was not sure whether George Bush cared about anything at all. But Bush was offended: in a 2010 interview, he admitted that West’s attack was “one of the most disgusting moments of my presidency.”

Bob Dylan: “Croats are such Nazis”

Story

At the end of 2012, an interviewer for the French Rolling Stone asked one of the main musical-political artists in the world about current situation white and black populations in the USA. Dylan, speaking about the fact that conflicts between them still exist, made several analogies, as a result of which it turned out that all Croats are equated with Nazis and Ku Klux Klansmen. Oops.

Quote

“Blacks know that many whites would not want to give up slavery. If these people had their way, black people would still be wearing the yoke - they can't pretend no one knows it.<…>If you have the blood of a slave owner or clansman in your veins, blacks feel it. This is noticeable to this day. In the same way, Jews can feel Nazi blood, and Serbs - Croatian blood.”

Consequences

Members of the Croatian community in France reacted negatively to the interview, and a little later filed a lawsuit - at the end of 2013 it became known that their application was accepted, and Dylan seriously faces up to a year in prison for inciting hatred. However, in April 2014, the judge dropped all charges against Dylan, although the case did not end there - now, instead of the musician, the publisher of the French Rolling Stone is the defendant.

Jack White: "The Black Keys, stop copying me"

Story

The Guardian journalist Tim Jonze was preparing a profile of singer Lana Del Rey for the release of her new album “Ultraviolence”. One of the main themes of his research was the singer's dark image and the way she romanticized death; Not surprisingly, during the conversation, Jonze asked Del Rey if she wanted to die herself.

Quote

“I wish I were already dead,” said Lana Del Rey, completely unexpectedly for me. She talked about her heroes - including Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain - and I noticed that they had one thing in common: dying young. Then I asked if she thought there was something luxurious about it. "Don't know. Mmm. Yes,” she answered. “Don’t do that,” I answer instinctively. “But I really want this,” she said. ( from an article in The Guardian)

Consequences

Del Rey's performance incredibly angered Frances Bean Cobain, Kurt's daughter, who, in a series of tweets, told Lana something along the lines of "I'll never know my father because of this, and you're a complete fool." Del Rey first tried to shift all the blame for the interview onto the journalist - they say, at first he pretended to be a fan, and then began asking provocative questions. Jonze, in response, reasonably noted that when you are asked whether you find death attractive and whether you want to die, you can always answer “no.” Del Rey later responded personally to Frances Bean Cobain, saying that she only loved her father’s music and did not consider his death in his youth to be “cool” at all. One way or another, something clearly went wrong with the Ultraviolence promotional campaign.

What is the song about? The meaning of the song: In her song Lana Del Rey sings about the fact that there are people who just feel good together. They somehow miraculously find each other. When this happens, everything becomes unimportant - all that is needed is to always be there for each other, close, enjoying each other until the last breath.

The song Born To Die performed by Lana Del Rey became a popular song in 2011-2012. It was released to support an album called Born to Die. The singer gained popularity with the release of this album.

About Lana Del Rey's song - Born To Die

The song speaks from female face. The girl is sad on Friday evenings and feels lonely. She walks through unfamiliar streets and tries to find her young man. He can hardly be called such, he is just her friend who can always cheer up a girl. They are not friends or a couple, there is their presence in the air chemical bond, but there is no relationship between them. They just relax together: smoke weed, walk around the city at night, ride in a car. The girl asks the young man not to upset her, not to make her cry. Lana sings about how they were born to die. Enjoy every moment of their life without thinking about the consequences. And then die. The singer considers such people to be real. Such people live for today, kiss in the pouring rain and do not pay attention to passers-by. The composition describes difficult relationships that will never turn into formal ones. They will remain beyond the realm of possibility, because the guy will never belong to the girl, and the girl will not insist on this, because for her the main thing is that he is nearby.

About Lana Del Rey's video - Born To Die

The video of the same name was released in December 2011. A lyric video that doesn't make much sense. Beautiful picture that will please the audience. It all starts with Lana Del Rey standing in an embrace with an unknown man against the backdrop of the American flag. Soon an antique palace appears with a massive chair in which the singer is located. There are two tigers near her. in her hair huge roses. Scenes where the performer is driving a car with her boyfriend are inserted separately into the video clip. They kiss and just enjoy the long ride. A wonderful clip with the soulful atmosphere of old palaces. Lana coped well with the role of a time lady. She expresses the feelings of the heroine of the song, who needs a hero who will make her alive and allow her to do pranks that she will never remember. She dreams that her life will become carefree. Such a man stays and tries not to upset beautiful girl. The backgrounds included in the video and the ceilings are especially beautiful. cathedrals, night road and old castle.

“It’s a pity, I’m not dead yet,” Lana Del Rey says in a way that makes me cringe. She remembers her favorite musicians - Amy Winehouse, Kurt Cobain. I notice that they all died early and ask if she thinks that's romantic? "Don't even know. Probably yes." And again he complains about life.

“You can’t say that,” I react out of inertia.

- I don't care.

- Well, don't!

- I want and I say. I'm tired of working all the time, but no one cares.

- Work on what? Over the music?

- Over everything, actually. I’m not throwing words away: if I knew that I was going to die tomorrow, of course, I would be scared, but I didn’t panic.

We are in New Orleans, a city where peace and quiet are unknown. A couple of blocks from the hotel where Lana Del Rey is staying, on Bourbon Street, homeless people wander around day and night, French jazzmen sing. Even her hotel room it looks like someone was killed there: things are scattered, there are half-empty packets of chips, there is a bloody ketchup stain on the computer.

“Uh-uh,” she says, trying to play songs from the latest album on her laptop. - How did ketchup get here?

But when we go out onto the balcony, everything around us seems to freeze. “A magical place,” Lana adds, lighting a cigarette. And then she starts talking about why she's unhappy: she doesn't like being a pop star because she's always criticized.

“If I die, my parents will come to say goodbye to me and say: “Dear girl, your life was like a movie, you left us so early.” Yeah, for a shitty movie.

The interview lasts an hour and most of the time she talks about something sad. Listening to her story - about childhood on the streets, biker gangs and seven million album copies sold Born to Die, - it’s hard to believe that she is really disappointed in life.

The conversation starts with Video Games, the lead song with which Lana debuted in 2011. She recorded tracks and videos and posted them on the Internet, but no one paid attention to her, and then Video Games critics began to pick apart her songs and image piece by piece. Does she understand anything about the aesthetics of beauty? Is she really not working with any labels? How much money did her father invest in promoting her songs? How many times has she pumped her lips? Is Elizabeth Grant her real name or just another fake?

I ask how many years she had been playing music before she wrote Video Games? And I hear in response: “I can’t stand this song. It’s terrible, just like my whole life.”

When the laptop turns on, the voice of a sad girl is heard from the speakers. “Fools will never learn to change correctly.” Apparently, new album Lana Del Rey is destined for success.

- If I had everything that they write about in magazines: money, a lot of money, sex with just anyone... In fact, I want peace and tranquility - to write songs, and to be respected for it.

In the last year, the critics calmed down a little, and Lana did not even notice how new enemies appeared in her life. In 2012, her “cloud” on the Internet was hacked. The hackers had all the photographs, bills, hospital extracts, not to mention the songs. “All 211 songs,” she sums it up. It is unclear who did this, but this someone is slowly leaking all her personal information.

If you look at how Lana Del Rey lives, it's easy to see why she feels exhausted. Pop idols recent years- these are women, and she is one of them.

“I’m constantly reminded of this,” she says. “Many people explain the popularity of women as sexism, but I think it’s something else.” I'm not a feminist.


I'm reminded of musicians who have found themselves in the critical spotlight for lately: Miley Cyrus, Lorde, Lily Allen, Lady Gaga, Sinead O'Connor.

“These girls are probably provocateurs,” says Lana. - I've never been like this. How can my songs shock? Except for the strange lyrics.

What about the video for the song? Ride, where she sits down with one or another elderly biker (for this they even called her a whore).

“Okay,” she replies. “I see your feminist eyebrow twitching.” For me it was a very personal video, it's about free love.

How does it reflect her real life?

- Oh, yes, it’s all about me.

Hang out with bikers and change guys like gloves?

“Yeah,” she says, looking around and laughing.

In terms of the number of fraud accusations, she will surpass any pop star. She tells me how she hitchhiked around the country as a teenager. “I didn’t have a home or health insurance.” For six years she did not communicate with her parents, who were dubbed her producers. “My father always had less money than everyone else. In 1994, he was developing the Internet and went broke.”

Lana Del Rey likes to describe the turbulent moments of her life as if she were writing romance novel: She recalls how she often wandered around New York in the evenings, meeting strangers “where the night left them.” “I remembered how Dylan loved to talk all night about music with anyone he met. I met writers and artists. Some became my friends, others became something more.”

- This sounds very frivolous.

“I’m fine with my intuition.”

-Are you still having fun like this?

- From time to time.

— Do passers-by often recognize you?

- Fifty-fifty. If they find out, I'll just run away.

“Aren’t they surprised that you’re wandering the streets?”

— In Los Angeles — it’s surprising. In Oklahoma, no.

At eighteen - here the dark memories take over her again - she suffered from alcohol addiction and now, working part-time in social services, she tries to help those who are addicted to drugs or booze. She talks about it as a calling.

She says that all her songs are about these people. “These are not simple pop ballads.” She gives the example of the rhythm of her music and how it reflects her state of mind. “Life seems dirty and muddy to me, and my songs turn out the same way.”

She wants to be a serious singer and author, which is why early criticism hurt her so much. Maybe Lana really should go back in time to remember with what dignity she emerged from the scandals after Video Games and began to receive the approval of experts, which she herself believes she deserves?

The rain hits the railings and mixes with cigarette smoke. I think about the concert she has ahead of her that night. About loud fans around her taking selfies. And she, of course, must like all this.

“No,” Lana says, looking at the busy street. - Let's finish the interview. I feel good on this balcony, it’s so calm here.

She throws her head back, closes her eyes, and seems to be petrified. ≠

Such an unexpected statement popular singer made in a recent interview with the Guardian.

The fact is that Lana is now 27 years old, and in a conversation the journalist asked her to express her opinion about the so-called “Club 27” - a group famous musicians, such as Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse and others who died at the age of 27. Del Rey said she regrets not dying because she doesn't want to keep doing "this." By the word “this,” the singer meant not only music, but her general condition, and if she life situation If there was someone else, she would never have uttered such words.

Once upon a time, Lana, who is a typical representative of the “golden youth,” suffered from serious alcohol addiction. She did not like that others thought that she had a carefree life, like a movie, and compared it to a “vile movie.” In addition, there was dissatisfaction with her appearance, which Kyiv contour plastic surgery and difficult relationships with relatives, including her father, wealthy investor Rob Grant, could help get rid of. And just recently, Lana also stated that she was suffering from an unknown disease that no doctor could identify.

In general, there are more than enough reasons for such pessimistic statements, but on the other hand, the singer is now very popular and in demand, tour schedule scheduled months in advance, and yesterday her new album Ultraviolence was released, for which critics vied with each other to predict success. Among other things, Lana Del Rey is engaged in social activities, helping Los Angeles youth recover from mental health issues and various dependencies. Well, the most important thing is that on June 21, that is, in a week, Lana turns 28 years old! So just a little more and you can breathe a sigh of relief, forget about “Club 27” and continue to delight your many fans with your creativity.
