Lorde Says She Was 'So Nervous' About David Bowie Tribute at the BRITs

Lorde keeps her head down after touching down at LAX airport on Thursday night (February 25) in Los Angeles.

The 19-year-old entertainer took to Twitter later on, admitting her nervousness when she paid tribute to David Bowie at the 2016 BRIT Awards with “Life on Mars”.

“Such an honour getting to perform #BRITs2016 paying tribute to my hero,” Lorde wrote. “I was so nervous in the wings, and then I whispered to myself ‘just sing it to david’, and nothing else mattered.”

also, performing with bowie's brilliant touring band – including the inimitable @mikegarson who played DB's keys since the 70s! – was unreal
