A severe sinus infection has rendered the artist unable to perform this weekend. She was slated to be one of the headliners Friday night.
"I been battling all week & tried to power thru but it got worse," Lizzo said in a tweet.
She goes on to say her doctor has advised her not to fly until she is better.
