SZA was forced to postpone her Toronto gig on Wednesday, Oct. 4 after falling ill and losing her voice.
The “Snooze” singer didn’t state what she had come down with, however, she revealed she had been put on steroids and that her “voice is shot.”
Despite her best efforts to play the show at the Canadian city’s Scotiabank Arena, she had to pull out.
The Grammy-winning star announced on Instagram after her X account wouldn’t let her log back in: “I wanted to let you know [I] got sick after Jersey and I’m here in Toronto taking a z pack n hella steroids. My body is semi able but my voice is shot I’m trying my best to make it tonight!!! I really need your support I don’t wanna cancel.”
SZA plans to reschedule the show at a later date.
A statement from the venue later confirmed: “The SZA performance scheduled for October 4 at Scotiabank Arena is postponed due to illness. Fans are encouraged to hold onto their tickets for the rescheduled date to be announced shortly. All tickets will be honored. Thank you.”
The “Kill Bill” hitmaker is next due on stage on October 6 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
SZA’s vocal battle had been going on for most of the year as she claimed back in the April that she’d lost her voice after performing at Coachella.
A month earlier, she also claimed that she was making the “best album” of her career this year because it’ll be the last one she ever does due to her vocal difficulties.
“I’m still miserable. My world got so much smaller so fast. I have so much to write about. I feel like I’m in a cage. I’m making the best album of my life for this next album and I know that … because it’s going to be my last album,” she said.
