However, “following the advice of her doctors to keep a less rigorous schedule in the coming months, Beyonce has made the decision to forgo performing at the 2017 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival,” a statement said, adding that “she will be a headliner at the 2018 festival.”

It was unclear who would take the pop diva’s spot at the two-weekend festival in April in Indio, California.

The singer already has a five-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, with Jay Z.

It is unclear when she is due to give birth.
