The singer's dog, Pearl, has died. In an email to her followers, Ella Yelich-O'Connor wrote in detail about the death of her dog, recounting the moment Pearl died after two cardiac arrests. The singer asked for patience from her fans, warning that her much-loved pet's death could delay her next album release. But in the email, she said the death of her dog was a major blow to the album and had derailed her plans and also the focus of her third album. Pearl died after two cardiac arrests an hour apart, and Lorde said she was holding the dog when he died.
