Country star Kelsea Ballerini was forced to end her concert early after performing only a few songs.
The “Miss Me More” singer took to social media to explain to her fans that she had to abruptly stop her concert in Buffalo, New York, due to an illness.
“Buffalo, I am so, so sorry that I could not finish the show tonight,” Ballerini said on Instagram.

“I am sicker than I’m trying to be, and I did not want to let anyone down tonight, and I just got through the first few songs and I couldn’t do it. And I am so sorry, but I never want to give you a half-a– show.”
Ballerini, 31, sounded under the weather as she addressed her fans wearing a purple hooded sweatshirt.
The “Cowboys Cry Too” crooner announced that she had rescheduled her shows in Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Toronto.
“I will make them the best shows I’ve ever played in my whole life, and I will pull out every stop for you… I will make it so worth it.”

The 5-time Grammy nominee’s video comes after a crew member stopped her New York performance to share the news with Ballerini’s fans.
“This is a conversation I did not want to have tonight,” the crew member announced.
