Lizzo Cancels Two Performances Due To The Flu: 'I Hate Letting My Fans Down'

The singer is also expected to be this week's musical guest on "Saturday Night Live," but has not commented on whether she will actually appear.
Lizzo Cancels Two Performances Due To The Flu
By Essence · Updated December 6, 2020

It looks like Lizzo isn’t “feeling good as hell” right now.

We’re sending Lizzo well-wishes after the singer canceled two performances due to illness. The singer was forced to bow out of her performance for Boston’s KISS 108 Jingle Ball and Hot 93.7’s Jingle Jam after being stricken with the flu.

In a statement posted to Twitter on Sunday, Lizzo wrote, “To my Hartford fans and Hot 93.7, I am so sorry I have to cancel my performance tomorrow due to the flu. I hate letting my fans down more than anything. I hope that you all can forgive me while I recover and I promise we are doing everything we can to make it up to you.”

To my Boston fans, iHeart and KISS108, I am so sorry I have to cancel tonight’s show due to the flu. I hate letting my fans down more than anything. I hope that you all can forgive me while I recover and I promise we are doing everything we can to make it up to you.

She later added on Monday, “Y’all I’ve never been this sick please pray for me.”

For fans who purchased tickets to the canceled shows, Live Nation will automatically be issuing refunds or can be done at the point of purchase.

Since she revealed her illness over the weekend, Lizzo has been updating fans on her progress.

“Finally got out the 100’s! 99.9 temperature ain’t bad,” she said Tuesday, before writing hours later, “NO MORE FEVER THANK U GOD. Thank y’all for the kind words and prayers that really helped.”

Now fans are wondering if Lizzo will appear on Saturday Night Live, where she’s scheduled to appear as the sketch comedy’s show’s musical guest this weekend. So far, there’s no word.

We hope Lizzo gets well soon!
