St Vincent has been accused of destroying paintings left backstage at Lollapalooza festival in Chile.
The artist, real name Annie Clark, performed at the Chilean leg of the festival on March 15. Local artist Constanza Ragal Chaigneau was commissioned to decorate the backstage area and MTV reports that paintings left in the dressing room were left damaged.
Chaigneau reportedly demanded $4,500 from Clark and claimed on Instagram that the paintings were destroyed with “knives and violence”. NME has contacted a spokesperson for St Vincent but has received no reply at the time of writing.
St Vincent is currently on tour in south America and recently arrived in Paraguay.
Thank you so much, Chile! Was just greeted by the sweetest people in Paraguay. #southamericanwelcome
