Sri Lankan refugee and bhangra-inspired hip hop artist, Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam aka M.I.A., announced that she'll no longer do live performances during her set at this year's Bonaroo Arts and Music Festival. The New York Times reported that the neon clad M.I.A. told fans, "This is my last show and I'm glad to be spending it with all my hippies." Artists often make the assertion of retirement but then get back on the road for the classic revival tour so I won't hold M.I.A. to her word because I regrettably missed her numerous shows in San Francisco.

she is not retiring
she simply ended this tour
