Rosalia was forced to cut a concert short for the first time, after she was struck down with “really severe food poisoning”.
The 33-year-old singer was playing at the Unipol Forum in Milan on Wednesday (25.03.26), part of her Lux Tour, when she stopped the show to tell fans she had been vomiting backstage.
She said: “I tried to do this show from the very beginning even though I’ve been sick.
“I’ve had, like, really severe food poisoning and I tried to push through until the end, but I’m feeling extremely unwell.
“I’ve been throwing up backstage, and I really want to give the best show, and I’m basically on the floor trying my best.”
Rosalia tried to continue, but warned her audience she might have to abort the gig.
She added: “I can try to continue, but at some point I might have to stop.
“I’m extremely sick, and I’m really trying, I’ll push as much as I can, but if we have to stop, we might have to if I physically can’t continue. I’m in pain.”
Shortly afterwards, Rosalia was forced to leave the stage.
She told her fans: “I’ve tried by all means to continue the show until the end, but I’m really unwell and I can’t do it.”
Rosalia is due to perform four dates at Madrid’s Movistar Arena from Monday (30.03.26) next week.
Last December, Rosalia told how she “struggles so much” with loneliness, because she is a “very social person”.
Speaking on the New York Times’ Popcast, she said: “Loneliness is my lesson in this life.
“I struggle so much with feeling lonely. I really don’t like loneliness. I’m a very social person. I like to be surrounded by my friends. I like to be surrounded by my family.
“I love having a significant other and sharing with a significant other. I love affection. I think that I always need to believe that there’s a possibility of… have faith in love.
“I always find myself having to be in a different country that is not where I come from in order to do my job, in order to collaborate with the collaborators that I love to work with, in order to pursue this path.
“I always have to isolate myself so much in order to go through creative process, even with partners.”
