Rita Ora was hospitalized on July 26.
The “Let You Love Me” singer had been due to perform at Campus Fesztivál in Debrecen, Hungary, on July 27 but was forced to pull out of the show hours before taking to the stage on “doctor’s orders.”
“Please forgive this unexpected turn of events, but sadly I will not be able to perform at Campus Fesztivál tonight,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “Having spent the night in hospital in Budapest, I must rest thoroughly and follow doctor’s orders. I am so sorry to my fans who are going to be there today, and I’m truly thankful for your understanding.”
Festival organizers were “devastated” by the news.
“[Her] crew has been working since dawn to set up the show … we are devastated by the news, too. Saturday’s program of the main stage will be reorganized soon. We wish Rita a speedy recovery,” they shared her statement on the event’s own Instagram page.
The performer — who is married to Taika Waititi — didn’t provide any further details on her condition, including whether or not she is still in hospital.
Ora had performed at the free festival As Young As Vilnius in Lithuania on July 25.
“Lithuania you blew my mind!! 50k people, in the pouring rain, I appreciate every single one of you and you brought the ENERGY,” said her post, in which she shared a series of photos on Instagram.
The “I Will Never Let You Down” hitmaker recently admitted performing live is her favorite part of her career.
“I’m definitely touring with this new record that I’m going to put out next year,” she said. “I wanted to change it up. All the festivals I’ve been doing this summer have been so much fun. Getting to perform live is my favorite part. I hate the studio. I love seeing the crowd, and I really connect with the energy. The tour is the only reason I put music out.”
