On Instagram Stories, Abrams shared in detail the reason behind cancelling her event in Brussels.

"First thing I have to say is that I love you with my whole heart and I have been so looking forward to being together in your beautiful city," she wrote.

The singer highlighted that her body was "fighting off something gnarly" over the past one week. While she tried everything to keep it contained, Abrams said it has got to a point where she is being medically advised to take rest as she cannot perform.
