Charli XCX

Singer-songwriter Charli XCX says that she was forced to terminate two concerts in Japan on doctor's orders.

The Boys hitmaker announced it on Instagram and Twitter on Friday. Charli was scheduled as one of the headlining performers as part of the Summer Sonic concert series in Tokyo and Osaka.

"I have been seriously ill for the past couple of days with really bad tonsillitis and fever. I passed out during security in Beijing and I've since been on antibiotics, but nothing is making me better," Charli said. "The doctor told me I cannot perform without doing more damage to my voice and my health," she added.
