Fresh from the news that she cancelled her forthcoming UK tour, MIA called her performance at Bonnaroo her �??last show ever�?� at the weekend (June 13).
The recently-engaged rapper broke the news of her tour cancellation on stage at McCarren Pool in Brooklyn last week, confirming it later during an interview with nymag.com at the MoMA in New York, saying she would utilise the time to record new material.
While on stage at the Bonnaroo Festival over the weekend she announced �??This is my last show, and I�??m glad I�??m spending it with all my hippies.�?� According to the New York Times, she repeated that it was her last show three times, and said �??Thanks for coming to my last gig,�?� before leaving the stage.
The rapper, whose real name is Mathangi Maya Arulpragasam has a tendency to break news during her live sets, and even announced her engagement to Benjamin Brewer during a performance in Canada last month.
