Leaving a high performer spot free…

On Thursday, Beyoncé dropped out the huge festival following doctor’s advice. She made the announcement via her production company. Beyoncé, who is pregnant with twins, canceled her participation at the festival following doctor’s advice. The singer could be in her third trimester of pregnancy during the festival, there’s no official nor exact information about it.

The “Formation” singer also announced that she would be reprogrammed for next year festival’s edition as a headliner, which was a happy news for fans and followers. Beyoncé headlining the festival was a huge thing since she was the first female to headline it since Björk in 2007.

We would like to share our love and happiness. We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. – The Carters

Gaga is already having a quite busy year, and it’s only March. The singer already headlined the Super Bowl half-time show and now got to headline Coachella, after a ten-year women headliner hiatus.
