Bjork's touring shift towards performing mini-residencies has improved her work-life balance over the past few years, the musician recently shared.

Björk has largely shifted her approach to performing live since 2011, and now she's opening up about why she prefers residencies to touring.

The Icelandic musician has toured constantly for decades, but shifted her focus following 2011's Biophilia album.

Björk created a touring schedule that means she can "actually have a life". The 59-year-old Icelandic singer-songwriter shunned the traditional way of touring city-to-city following the release of her 2011 album 'Biophilia' and now plays a batch of dates in the same venue before moving to the next place to afford herself more downtime.
