American singer, rapper and flutist Lizzo has postponed her second show due to health issues. In a video posted on her social media accounts, the Grammy award-winning artist revealed that she had been forced to cancel her performance in Hartford, Connecticut, due to a severe case of strep throat.

Lizzo, known for her chart-topping hits including "Truth Hurts" and "Good As Hell," had previously canceled a show in Montreal due to flu-like symptoms, which she later confirmed tested negative for COVID-19.

She acknowledged that in the past, she had pushed herself to perform despite her health issues but recognized that this was not the best course of action. Lizzo assured her fans that all tickets for the postponed show would be honored for a rescheduled date.
