His long-awaited End Of The World Tour came to an abrupt halt on Friday, with Laroi canceling his show 40 minutes after it was due to begin, leaving thousands of fans disappointed and angry at an empty stage.
In an Instagram post on Friday night, Laroi said he was “struggling to stand up and go to the bathroom” after falling ill.
“I wanted to act really badly, so we called the doctors and had them bring an IV drip and some extra stuff to try and help,” she wrote on Instagram.
“As the night progressed, it got worse … I stayed very light and my body felt very heavy. I promise you with all my heart that I gave my all to try to get on stage tonight.

“This is my first tour and I absolutely hate having to do this, especially at the last minute, as it’s not fair to you guys, but at the end of the day I have to put my health first and I would. I’ll lie to you if I tell you it’s okay to come up and act for you. “
In a second statement on Saturday, 18-year-old Laroi said he had woken up feeling worse.
