Lizzo was forced to cancel her Sunday night performance in Boston after she revealed that she was not feeling “Good as Hell.” In a tweet shared with her 1.3 million followers on Sunday, the “Truth Hurts” rapper announced that she would have to tap out of her scheduled performance after coming down with the flu.
To my Boston fans, iHeart and KISS108, I am so sorry I have to cancel tonight’s show due to the flu. I hate letting my fans down more than anything. I hope that you all can forgive me while I recover and I promise we are doing everything we can to make it up to you.

News of her illness, and likewise her absence from the performance, was met with well wishes from fans.
“Get well soon bb and take care of yourself, your health matters above anything else!!!” one person responded.
“I hope you feel better soon,” a second person wrote. “I am sure your fans will understand. Health is so important and you can not perform with the flu.”
“Girl get yourself back to feeling good as hell we understand. Come back to boston anytime!” commented a third.
Lizzo’s decision to back out of the performance came after she revealed just a day earlier that she was feeling under the weather. Taking to her Instagram Story, the singer shared a photo of herself being treated with an IV bag, the singer captioning the photo with an emoji with a medical mask. Lizzo also shared a video of herself in bed sniffling.
At the time, the singer did not give an explanation behind her illness, though she also took to Twitter to share a tweet suggesting that she wasn’t feeling well.
