La Bagatelle Magique was conceived as a collaborative project between Robyn, Christian Falk, and and Markus Jägerstedt. However, when Falk passed away a year ago, the remaining others finished what they had left and put out their Love Is Free EP last month. They were scheduled to have their live debut at Dans Dakar, which was cancelled, and then they made up for it at Sweden’s Popaganda Festival during the end of August. Robyn realized that she would not be able to perform La Bagatelle Magique music for a while and cancelled their scheduled performances in San Francisco and Brazil. 

Here is what she had to say in a statement:

It was much harder singing these songs on stage than I thought. Even though it’s been a year since Christian passed, I’m heartbroken and performing them feels too heavy still. I’m sorry to disappoint the fans that have bought tickets to these shows, and I will do my best to come back to San Francisco and Brazil soon.

A press release says that a new video for the band is currently being worked on but that “requires a clean break from performing to focus on the future so she can return with new music.”
