The singer-songwriter, real name Elizabeth Grant, gave fans the news in a video, saying the decision was made because other “jobs” she is involved in require “privacy and transparency”.

“Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that tomorrow we are going to be deactivating our social media accounts, my social media accounts,” she said, in a video shared to Instagram this morning. “That is simply because I have so many interests, and other jobs I’m doing that require privacy and transparency.
