AceShowbiz - Rapper Juice WRLD was forced to scrap his appearance at England's Reading Festival due to "flight issues."
Fans had already gathered for his scheduled main stage performance on Friday evening (August 23) and crew members were setting up his stage, when it became clear he'd be a no-show.
Compere Huw Stephens took to the stage to tell the crowd, "Juice WRLD will not be able to perform today due to a flight issue."
It's not clear if Juice WRLD will make it to the U.K. to perform at Reading's sister Leeds Festival this weekend.
King Princess also cancelled her performance at both the Reading and Leeds Festivals due to illness.
The singer, real name Mikaela Strauss, was scheduled to play the Radio 1 Stage at Reading on Saturday and Leeds on Sunday.
Last week, Lil Uzi Vert also pulled out of the festivals, due to "unforeseen circumstances."
Meanwhile, the first night of this year's Reading Festival will be headlined by The 1975, following performances from The Wombats, Charli XCX and Royal Blood, among others.
