“I am sorry to everyone who was coming out to my show in Malmo. I was so excited to perform for you all. It would have been a great time… so much better than being sick with the flu, ugh! I’m really disappointed I couldn’t be there.”

According to her website, the concert will be rescheduled.

We hope that she gets better soon!
