Bjork spends her time on island post Bestival

Singers visits Waterstones after headline set

Chris Swindells - 14 September 2011

The star turn in Waterstones came at quite a surprise to shop attendant, Tom Farren who told the Isle of Wight County Press; "She walked in and I thought, that woman looks like Bjork, but I didn’t think it would be her."

"It was about 10.30am and she was on her own. She seemed cool. She was dressed down and she is only about three feet tall." Said Tom, 27.

The singer spent more than £170 on items, including moleskin diaries and a boardgame based on the TV quiz QI.

Her latest album Biophilia has been inspired by the natural world and her shopping also included David Attenborough natural history CDs and an audio version of Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species, read by Richard Dawkins. 

Bjork played a headline set heavily-comprised of 'Biophilia' material which bemused the Bestival crowd.
