With fans already on their way to the show in downtown Montreal, Evenko announced at 7:05 p.m. that Lizzo's The Special 2our with special guest rapper Latto was being postponed.

"As per doctor's orders, Lizzo is unable to perform tonight at the Bell Centre," the brief release said. "More details will be announced soon for the new date."
