On Instagram, Lana shared multiple photos from her set at Coachella and some behind the scenes pictures of the prep work.
In the caption, she thanked a teammate named Emily who took over the role of tour manager after her former manager Pete left.
She wrote that he “quit for no reason after 15 years because he was butt hurt that I got 10 comped bikes for free from Wally [Crowder] and randomly decided he was more of a stage designer than a tour manager…”
“Never got a phone call probably never will. Still grateful for the 15 years though. No worries – 37 days was more than enough time to put together an entire headlining set all by ourselves,” she continued. “Not stressful at all.”
Lana heaped praise on Emily, writing that she “f-cking killed it with grace.”
She also playfully asked her managers to email them if they decided to quit, too.
“15 years is a long time for us too☺️ thank you to Cody,” she joked.
