Lana Del Rey will no longer come to Australia later this month.

After taking off globally since the original announcement, the current dates in tiny venues in Sydney and Melbourne have been dumped for bigger venues and a larger tour later in the year.

Lana was due to play 500 capacity Oxford Art Factory in Sydney on February 28 and 300 capacity The Toff In Town in Melbourne on March 3.

Reports out of the USA today suggest that all Lana Del Rey dates worldwide have been pulled because of her disastrous performance recently on Saturday Night Live.

All ticket holders will be given full refunds and priority booking for new dates.

Refund info: If you purchased your ticket online or over the phone through moshtix your ticket will be automatically refunded back to your credit card/PayPal account. If you purchased your ticket from a moshtix retail outlet you will need to return to the outlet with your ticket to receive your refund.

The Lana Del Rey album 'Born To Die' was released this week through Universal.

Mick Jagger pulls David Cameron event after being used as 'political football'

Sir Mick Jagger has backed out of an event hosted by David Cameron after stating he has been used as a "political football".

The Rolling Stones frontman had been invited to the Davos tea party in Switzerland to join other celebrities and politicians reported Sky News.

The annual event is an elite gathering of government and business leaders to forward political and ecomomical matters.

A statement issued by Sir Mick's camp said: "During my career I have always eschewed party politics and came to Davos as a guest, as I thought it would be stimulating.

"I have always been interested in economics and world events. I now find myself being used as a political football and there has been a lot of comment about my political allegiances which are inaccurate. I think it's best I decline the invitation to the key event and curtail my visit."

The musicians withdrawal from the World Economic Forum is embarrassing for the Government.

A senior government source has denied that Sir Mick's involvement in the tea party had been in any way 'politicised'.

"Clearly we are disappointed that Sir Mick doesn't feel he can support a non-political event that promotes Britain," the source said.

"At no point was there ever any suggestion that Sir Mick was a Conservative. He understandably wishes to remain apolitical. This is not a political event. This is simply an event that promotes British creativity abroad."

New Zealand is about to see its last ever Big Day Out.

In a posting at Big Day Out's New Zealand Facebook account the organisers of the festival have announced 'This year will be New Zealand's last Big Day out. Come party with us this Friday. It's been an amazing 18 years here in Auckland.'

The news was certainly a shock to the Kiwis who reacted angrily to the news.

'I'm not going to buy tickets to a gig with a shit lineup just cos it's the last one,' wrote Lawrence Thompson.

'Bring on something new please, bdo is tired,' wrote Paul Manning.

'Two things easy to fix: 1: Get bigger names, 2: Lower ticket prices. Job done'.

Not everyone was negative. 'So sad, very guttered. Its been a 10 year love affair. I will miss you big day out,' wrote Nicole Chapman.

One person, Sam Hall, thought it was a stunt. 'Bet it will still go ahead next year. Publicity stunt perhaps'.

Big Day Out New Zealand is on this Friday.

Other dates are:

January 22, Gold Coast
January 26, Sydney
January 29, Melbourne
February 3, Adelaide
February 5, Perth

Katy Perry �pulls out of post-split appearance�

Katy Perry has pulled out of what would have been her first public appearance since splitting from husband Russell Brand.

The 27-year-old singer took to her Twitter page to tell fans that she will not be attending an award ceremony this Wednesday as she had been scheduled to.

Russell filed for divorce from the Firework singer less than two weeks ago after just 14 months of marriage.

'Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the People's Choice Awards,' Katy wrote on the social networking site but did not elaborate on a reason.

'I want to thank u all for voting for me, fingers crossed (sic)!'

Katy is nominated for six awards which is more than anyone else. She is up for Favourite Female Artist and Favourite Song for the track E.T. featuring Kanye West.

It was reported last week that Russell had been uninvited from the show to prevent them bumping into each other.

Katy spoke out over the weekend for the first time since her divorce was announced, saying her heart is 'happy again.'

"I am so grateful for all the love and support I've had from people around the world," she wrote on Saturday. "You guys have made my heart happy again."

Katy went on to urge her fans to ignore speculation surrounding the breakdown of her marriage.

"Concerning the gossip, I want to be clear that NO ONE speaks for me," she tweeted. "Not a blog, magazine, 'close sources' or my family (sic)."
