Lizzo stands in pouring rain as she announces ‘gap year’

Lizzo filmed herself standing in the pouring rain as she announced that she's "taking a gap year."

The singer had recently posted on Instagram that she was taking a holiday in Bali.

She later uploaded footage of herself in wet weather dressed in a black swimsuit, captioning the post: “I’m taking a gap year & protecting my peace”.

It came months after the singer declared "I quit" on the social media platform, saying she was tired of being criticised for her looks and character - but later qualified that this did not mean a break from music.
