Rita Ora was forced to cancel a recent concert appearance due to a snap hospitalization in Budapest, calling the cancellation “doctor’s orders.” “Please forgive this unexpected turn of events but sadly I will not be able to perform at Campus Fesztivál tonight,” Ora wrote in a statement. “Having spent the night in hospital in Budapest, I must rest thoroughly and follow doctor’s orders.”

The health issue that led to the hospital stay was not disclosed, but it was clearly enough to require an overnight stay. “I am so sorry to my fans who are going to be there today and I’m truly thankful for your understanding,” the statement added.
