Spanish superstar Rosalía abruptly ended her sold-out concert at the Unipol Forum in Milan on Wednesday, March 25, after suffering from a “severe” case of food poisoning.
Despite attempting to push through the illness, the 33-year-old singer halted the show after 11 songs roughly halfway through her planned 23-song setlist telling the 11,000-strong crowd she was in significant pain and had been vomiting backstage.
What Happened During Rosalía’s Milan Concert on the LUX Tour
The concert, part of the global LUX Tour supporting her fourth studio album, began with its usual high energy. However, early signs of distress appeared during the performance of “De Madrugá,” where fans noted the singer appeared pale and was seen coughing.
After completing approximately 45 minutes of the show, Rosalía addressed the audience in English, visibly emotional. “I’ve tried to do this show since the beginning and I’ve been sick,” she told the crowd. “I’ve had big time food poisoning and I’ve tried to push it till the end but I’m feeling extremely sick. I’m puking out there”.
ROSALÍA interrupts her show in Milan and cancels it after not feeling well. It is the first time in her career that she cancels a performance due to health reasons.

Why Rosalía Cut Her Milan Show Short: Food Poisoning Explained
The singer revealed that she had been “on the floor” in her dressing room before the show started. Despite receiving support from the 11,000 fans in attendance, who applauded her effort, she ultimately determined that she could not physically continue the high-intensity performance.
Medical experts note that severe food poisoning can cause extreme dehydration, muscle weakness, and dizziness, making the physical demands of a headlining tour nearly impossible to sustain.
Fans React to Rosalía Stopping the Milan Performance Early
The reaction from the “Motomami” fanbase has been overwhelmingly supportive. Social media was flooded with clips of the singer apologizing, with many fans praising her “heroic” attempt to start the show while clearly unwell.
- “At least she did an hour… you couldn’t tell she was sick,” one fan wrote on Instagram.
- Others noted her visible “skin pallor and sweating” as proof of her dedication to the Italian audience.
Rosalía’s Health Update After the Milan Incident
Following the concert, Rosalía provided a reassuring update to her 28 million followers on Instagram, sharing a photo from an ambulance where she gave a “thumbs up”.
She captioned the post: “Feeling better. Thank you so much for all the love and understanding… Grazie Milano”.
What’s Next for Rosalía’s LUX Tour After Milan
The LUX Tour is scheduled to continue across Europe before heading to North America. Her next major appearance is a multi-night residency at the Movistar Arena in Madrid starting March 30.
Management has not yet officially confirmed if the Madrid dates will be impacted, as the singer is currently undergoing further medical evaluation to ensure she is fit for the tour’s remaining 42 dates.
How This Fits Recent Artist Health Moments on Tour
