Lana Del Rey put her former tour manager on blast on Wednesday, after he apparently quit about a month before her headlining performance at Coachella on Friday.
In a lengthy, stream-of-consciousness post on Instagram, the Cherry singer, 38, thanked everyone involved in putting together her dazzling Coachella set, which saw her ride in and out on the back of a motorcycle.
Thank you guys, she wrote alongside a carousel of photos. Jack and John and Billie for showing up for me -and the band for just killing it and spending months in Sylmar in a 40° warehouse to the point but it was so cold that I caught laryngitis that literally left just a few hours before I hit the stage because Tessa DiPietro spent two hours lifting that cough remotely through her body intuitive skills just minutes before showtime, Wally Crowder for my bad as bikes.
The Video Games singer also thanked every stunning dancer on stage- and Alex for her beautiful choreography, along with my stunning three singers who danced and sang their asses off in style and high matching boots.
From there, she took her longtime former tour manager, Peter Abbott, to task, and praised Emily Holt for stepping up.
Emily for stepping up as tour manager when Pete quit for no reason after 15 years because he was butt hurt that I got 10 comped bikes for free from Wally and randomly decided he was more of a stage designer than a tour manager… Never got a phone call probably never will. Still grateful for the 15 years though, she wrote.
No worries – 37 days was more than enough time to put together an entire headlining set all by ourselves. Not stressful at all. Way to go Emily you fu**ing killed it with grace, she wrote.
When thanking her managers Ben and Ed, she cheekily asked them to please send me an email If you decide to quit this year- 15 years is a long time for us too.
She closed out the post thanking more people involved in the show, including her glam team, which dressed her in a sparkling blue Dolce and Gabbana dress.
Molly Dixon those dresses! Dolce and Gabbana for literally wrapping silk around my body for hours until I became a shimmering swimming pool, she wrote. Etienne and Anna for somehow making my eyes change color on stage with witchy brush strokes of subtle peach make up and light old Hollywood hair, and Tracey Cunningham for changing my hair to the color of the desert like I wanted.
