It seems all was not well for singer Lorde – as she had to rush off stage just 25 minutes into her Australian concert.

Lorde was forced to postpone her Aussie tour in April and was under doctor’s orders to rest at home in New Zealand.

And just four tracks into the first hotly-anticipated rescheduled gig at Perth’s Challenge Stadium this evening, the singer apologised to fans as she rushed off the stage feeling unwell.

The singer stopped halfway into her fourth song and told a near capacity stadium audience that she needed to take a moment before heading backstage.

“Perth, I’m so sorry, can you give me one minute? I’m just not feeling very well,” she said.

A man is then said to have appeared on stage a few minutes later explaining there were ‘technical issues’.

Lorde reappeared five minutes later, again apologising before restarting the show.

“I must have eaten something weird,” she said. “I’ve never had to do that. I love you and I’m so grateful to be here.”

Later during her performance,  the singer took a moment to wrap a towel around her neck and crouch next to a fan, saying she ‘just felt tired’.

Worrying stuff – we just hope she’s OK!
