Dua Lipa‘s February pick for her Service95 book club is ‘‘ by Jean-Baptiste Del Amo.

Dua Lipa‘s January pick for her Service95 book club is ‘Night People: How To Be A DJ In 90s New York City.‘ by Mark Ronson. She said: “As a self-confessed night person, I can’t think of a better way to start the new year than a book that celebrates the energy and joy of the dance floor.” She goes on to say that Ronson’s memoir “completes a Service95 Book Club trilogy of sorts,” citing Just Kids by Patti Smith and Widow Basquiat by Jennifer Clement as the others which dive into the New York scenes of the 70s and 80s respectively.

Dua Lipa talks to Ingvild H. Rishøi about her book, Brightly Shining, as part of the Service 95 book club.

In the latest issue of Service95, Dua Lipa bids farewell to her Radical Optimism Tour, which ends tomorrow night (Dec 5th) in Mexico City. What an incredible accomplishment! Read her heartfelt message below:

I can’t quite believe I’m saying this, but tomorrow night in Mexico City will be the very last show of my Radical Optimism Tour. This journey has been an absolute whirlwind of emotions. When I think back to where it all began in November last year with the Asia leg, and then every city, culture, and pinch-me moment we’ve lived through since – above all, the beautiful souls we’ve met along the way – it honestly brings tears to my eyes.
​
I keep saying “we” because none of this would have been possible without the most extraordinary family on the road with me. My talented dancers, my incredible band, every crew member who keeps this magic alive night after night, and every single person who has joined us in the crowds: thank you so much. You made this tour unforgettable.
​
To close this chapter, here are five moments I’ll cherish forever (it was impossible to choose just a few!):
​
1. My two homecoming shows at Wembley Stadium in London – a dream I still can’t believe came true.
2. The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders taking the stage and giving Physical the most iconic twist imaginable.
3. Sharing the Sunny Hill Festival stage with my dad, Dugi, in August – technically not a tour moment, but I have to give it a mention!
4. That one-off night at The Abbey in LA with the legendary queens: Trinity The Tuck, Shea Couleé, Symone, Plastique Tiara and Aquaria. Pure joy.
5. Every single duet I sang with a local artist in their home city. I genuinely can’t pick a favourite – each one felt unique and utterly irreplaceable.
​
See you again tomorrow, Mexico City – let’s make the final night one to remember.

​
All my love,
Dua x

Dua Lipa‘s November pick for her Service95 book club is ‘The Handmaid’s Tale‘ by Margaret Atwood. The iconic novel tells the story of a woman trapped in the hellish world of Gilead, a totalitarian theocracy that was once the United States. Offered, our protagonist, is now a Handmaid: stripped of the rights to her own body, she is ceremonially raped by her Commander and ordered to surrender any child conceived to their families, just like all Handmaids. Atwood said she didn’t make any of this up, as the basis for the novel was taken from horrifically episodes throughout history. Stay tuned for Dua’s interview with Atwood, coming November 4th.
