According to Colombian news outlet La Tercera, the Barbadian beauty, 28, was scheduled to headline September’s two-day music festival in Bogotá, Colombia, but recently dropped out, leaving the show’s organizers without sufficient time to find a suitable replacement.
“The organizers wish to express their deep appreciation to all the fans who supported the festival since day one, as well as the sponsors and the media partners,” a statement (written in Spanish) on the official Lollapalooza Colombia website said on Friday, July 1.
