Lana Del Rey Breaks Down In Tears While Discussing Kidnapping Attempt

Singer Lana Del Rey has broken down in tears during a show in Atlanta, just days after a man allegedly attempted to kidnap her at her Florida concert.

43-year-old Michael Hunt was arrested near the Amway Center in Orlando on Friday, where Lana Del Rey was about to perform, The Guardian reports. Prior to his arrest, he had posted “cryptic and threatening” messages about the 32-year-old songstress on Facebook.

“When he was taken into custody, Hunt was in possession of tickets to the Lana Del Rey performance and a knife,” the Orlando Police Department said in a statement.

During her Atlanta show on Monday night, Del Rey addressed the traumatic incident on stage, telling fans: “I am actually just feeling a little more emotional than I thought,” Billboard reports.

“After what happened in Orlando, I just really wanted to be here with you guys tonight.”
