"Normally, if it's just a cold, I'll shower, I'll eat, take some medicine and it gets better. But this is getting worse," she explained. She was visibly upset as she speculated about what the illness could be: "I think it's the flu and I have to make the unfortunate decision to cancel today. "I want to find a date to reschedule, but I just can't perform tonight. "This is the second time I've ever had to cancel due to health in my entire career and I will make it up to you Montreal. I'm so sorry." Captioning the post, she wrote: "Montreal I'm so sorry but I physically cannot do the show. I promise we will honor your tickets." Her incredibly supportive fans rushed to comment on the post offering their support with one person writing: "Lizzo rest. The real ones will understand. Whoever got my queen sick needs to catch me outside.” Another said: "Take care of yourself first. Take care of us later," while a third wrote: "C’est la vie! Hope you feel better very soon precious soul.” Among the thousands of comments, another person added: “You’re a national treasure! Just take care of yourself. Please.”
