[Spock 20,290]

The inaugural Lollapalooza Colombia has been canceled after a headliner dropped out without enough time for the music festival to find a replacement, the fest announced on Sunday.

While Lollapalooza Colombia did not specify which headliner had pulled out, several Colombian outlets are reporting that it was Rihanna, who reportedly canceled her set due to concerns about the Zika virus.

“The organizers wish to express their deep appreciation to all the fans who supposed the festival since day one, as well as the sponsors and the media partners,” said a statement in Spanish on the music festival’s website. “We hope to return in the future to realize this first edition of Lollapalooza in the country.”

Rihanna has not publicly announced on social media or otherwise that she was canceling her performance. Her reps did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment on Sunday.

Disclosure, Lana Del Rey and Wiz Khalifa were also set to perform.

this era is the most messy thing ever tbh  (even if in her defense this is not her fault) (although Lana and the others were still going to perform, zika and all)

I mean, you bring huge teams to these events. If even one of your team members comes out of Columbia with the disease, it's major. I wouldn't blame this on the era. I'd blame this on the disease.

Why did you post this? The damn article says it can't even confirm it's Rihanna and you know people around here cannot read past the titles. Rihanna has so many ppl here bothered.

Just wear a morph suit, duh!

[KyliesChild 16,907]

And this title is misleading.

[Gohan 16,454]

Ultra misleading. Get that hit thread, I guess

Of course it's not her fault directly but the dissapointments keep piling up

You sit (and he is not a dog to be telling him that anyways) because the title in the article used ”reportedly", so yours is misleading. Think twice before you get slick with anyone.

She's been getting dragged for her live performances and giving away tickets for free. thats probably it.

[Lord Temptation 11,209]

Queen of cancelling at the last minute.

Zika isn't that hard to deal unless you're pregnant or have a worse illness  I had it. So pls. 

But It's okay to prevent so I have no problem with that
