Lana Del Rey has posted an online plea for the return of possessions belonging to her photographer sister, Chuck Grant. She posted the message onto her Twitter on Boxing Day, explaining that her sister’s “entire retrospective” had been stolen. She has reached out through the social media message for a “no questions asked reward”.
“The work we lost can’t be reproduced and exists nowhere but where it was.” Del Rey further added.
Her sister’s photography portfolio has appeared in Rolling Stone and Playboy. Further still, she has collaborated with Del Rey in many of her music videos. Check out the full message below:

In an article by NME counting down the 50 best albums of 2019, Lana’s sixth musical effort, ‘Norman Fucking Rockwell’, came in third place. It was described as “a lush tapestry of swoonsome sounds and killer wit from America’s most underrated songwriter”.
The review concluded that the album had reached a “strikingly cinematic conclusion”.
Tyler the Creator’s ‘Igor (A Boy Is A Gun)’ pipped Del Rey’s Rockwell to the second spot, with Billie Eilish’s ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Did We Go?’ claiming the top spot.
Elsewhere, Lana has already started to put together ideas for her seventh album. In a conversation with The Times, Lana said, “I’ve already written parts of it,”
The ‘Gods & Monsters’ singer added. “It’s called White Hot Forever, I feel like it probably will be a surprise release sometime within the 12 or 13 months.”
In October, Lana was awarded Song of The Decade for her track ‘Video Games’ at the Q Awards. The track from her second album ‘Born To Die’ reached ninth in the UK Charts, widely considered as Rey’s breakout moment.
“I’m so honoured. This is unreal,” Lana said, accepting the award via video link. “I just can’t tell you how much this means,”
“I got my start in London so I wish I could be there, but I’m there in spirit.”
