Just an hour before Lizzo’s Montreal concert was set to begin, the singer announced that the show would no longer go on because she became too sick to perform.
Lizzo took to Instagram to announce her illness and that she would not be able to take the stage.
“Montreal, I had a sore throat last night and a headache when I went to bed,” Lizzo said lying in bed with a mask. “And I woke up this morning and it was worse and my body is weak, and I have chills and my head hurts. And normally if it’s just a cold, I would shower, I would eat, take some medicine and get better, but this is getting worse. I think it’s the flu and I have to make the unfortunate decision to cancel today.”
She said it was only the second time in her life she’d cancelled a show. Naturally, many of her fans were disappointed to find out the show got cancelled.
Despite the sudden cancellation, fans were still supportive and hoped for Lizzo’s recovery.
Though a new date hasn’t been announced yet, Lizzo confirmed in her Instagram post that all tickets would be honoured. It’s also unclear if Latto will rejoin Lizzo on the rescheduled date.
