JAKARTA - New Zealand pop star Lorde was forced to cancel her appearance in Luxembourg after suffering from food poisoning which she called "brutal and cruel".

Meanwhile, the concert in Luxembourg, which is scheduled to take place at Rockhal on November 9 local time, should open the European tour for the Ultrasound World Tour.

Through uploads on social media, the singer, known through the hits "Green Light", announced a sudden cancellation just hours before the show.

Lorde admitted that her condition was very weak, almost unable to stand due to severe food poisoning attacks.

In a statement on Instagram Stories, the 29-year-old singer also apologized deeply to her fans.

"Luxembourg, I'm so sorry to have told you that I was poisoned by cruel food last night and it still hurts too much to perform today," Lorde wrote.

The "Royals" singer added that she had rested throughout the day in hopes of recovering, but her body condition refused.

The decision to cancel the show was taken. He felt that the audience deserved maximum performance.

"I've been resting all day hoping I'll be healthy enough, but I can barely stand up and you deserve more."

This cancellation felt very satisfied for Lorde. Apart from being the first Ultrasound World Tour show in Europe, the concert should also be his first appearance in Luxembourg, as well as his only collaboration with French musician Oklou.

"I can't say how much I look forward to: our first Lux show, the first night of Ultrasound EU and the only show we had with Oklou. It really hurts," he said.

"Know, if there was any way I could do it, I would be out there. Greetings from a very weak girl," he concluded.

It said Lorde's management team was working hard to reschedule the canceled concert. Lorde's closest schedule is scheduled for Paris.

On the other hand, Lorde recently launched his fourth studio album, Virgin, last June a work that comes after a four-year hiatus from the previous album, Solar Power (2021).

Lorde promised her fans that she would not keep them waiting that long again for her next album.

He stated that he now feels very active and does not need rest from creativity, even feels never satisfied with the work process.

"I mean, I'm excited to find out. I really feel very active and don't need a break from being creative. To be honest, I feel a bit never satisfied," he told Variety. "So I don't know, but I've thrown a challenge that it won't take four years (again), so I have to keep it."
