^ It amazes me how different Aurora looks on this pic. Idk if it is her make-up , her facial features or her wavy hair. Anyway, beautiful as can be. Wouldn't surprise me if Aurora changes her hair style to long and wavy in a couple of years or so. Sis' looks lovely too btw..
It's not so much her hair that makes a visible change from back then to the way she looks now,.... Let's face it,... she lost a lót of weight the past year and it shows in her face,.... Not all too surprising, if you keep an eye on the tourdates she had this whole year,.....
I know a little bit about the lifestyle,.. constantly on the move, arriving at venues at the strangest times, having to eat on the run because you need to be on time for the soundcheck, flying or on the bus from one place to the next, interviews and telvision performances at all available "free" time...... It's an irregular life and it's murder on your health in the long run. I must say I worry a bit for her and I believe I'm not the only one.... I really hope she'll get a long time to herself after the Laneway Festival, which will also be hard on her as she'll be in Australia and New Zealand,... in what is their summer..... She's not fond of heat as I heard her say several times in interviews..... Oh dear, she's in for a shock..... :/

I agree. I worry about her too! She's such a loving person that I think she would put the warriors' demands before her needs and play all the concerts no matter how exhausted she is! This scares me because I know how demanding people can be. Hopefully, she'll be ok.

She said in the NRK interview yesterday that she enjoys the concerts and meeting her fans, but she doesn't like to travel. Hopefully that last part makes her put her foot down so she can be at home for a while. And if they expect her to release a new album next year they need to give her some time off anyway.

"she enjoys the concerts and meeting her fans, " But for the last week she has been too tired to come out, as she did in the UK, for a meet and greet,... For Utrecht we know for sure, we had Aurora staff call her manager,.. in Dortmund we were swept out of the hall and got told the same and in Brussels she didn't show either. The only way to see her then was lie in wait at the exit,... which I considered but:
1. It doesn't help to go with someone not as obsessed... 2. I would probably feel pushy and guilty about that. 3. Quite frankly,... what do you say to a Goddess.... Okay, nothing that dramatic....
The last pictures I saw of her meeting fans,.... she looked dead tired... still doing her best to smile... As I gather, lately (in Europe) they get on the bus directly after the show and drive through the night to the next city so they're sure to be there on time... Sleeping on a bus is far from ideal.... :/
Anyway, I did have a very short and distant conversation with her in the venue at Dortmund during the show.... asking her how things were with the superglue......

As far as I know she didn't do anything like a meet and greet in the UK. It's just if you waited around the tour bus then obviously the band members would eventually be going out that way. For example in Manchester, the bus was literally parked in front of the venue. And in Leeds, we waited about 2 minutes at the back before Magnus appeared and then he went and got Aurora.
I did actually ask Magnus what it was like sleeping on the bus, and he didn't seem to have any issues with it. Apparently the driver is pretty smooth!

Yeah, I don't doubt that her batteries are getting low.
Meeting her fans doesn't necessarily mean a personal meet and greet though. I think she was talking about connecting from stage and seeing that her fans are real humans and not just numbers on a page. Talking to her fans after the show is not part of the show. That's just fan service and can't be expected after every show.
Aurora has been really nice to her fans so far. Meeting many of them after concerts and answering many on social media. I think we will see less and less of that eventually. Not just because the touring makes her tired, but with more and more fans this will become more and more demanding. Just look at how many people are trying to get her attention already. On social media, very often when she is nice and give someone the little finger, they grab her whole hand and ask for more, more, more.
Just like the rest of you I hope she'll get some time off. And I mean time off from her fans as well.
EDIT: Just to be clear, I don't say it's wrong wanting to meet Aurora after a show, just that we should not be disappointed if she's not always up for that herself.

chrisron I can't do anything but agree with everything you said,....
Of course I would have loved to have met her, speak to her if only for a minute, more than thank her for her music and what it has done for me (a lot),.. I wouldn't know what to say anyway...
But her not appearing for a meet and greet? I fully understand......
