“I will make it up to you, Montreal. I’m so sorry.”

Evenko announced tonight just after 7 p.m. that the Lizzo show scheduled to take place at the Bell Centre tonight is cancelled — postponed, technically — due to illness, “as per doctor’s orders.” In a video to Montreal fans posted on Instagram, Lizzo cited worsening flu-like symptoms as the reason for the cancellation.

The second leg of the Special 2our, with opening act Latto alongside the Grammy and Emmy award-winning, RIAA triple-platinum headliner, was first announced at Evenko and Live Nation in November.

Keep an eye on the Evenko website for news about a makeup date. Tickets for the May 4 show will be valid.
