Allen later posted a video on Instagram saying she was also calling off her show at the Varsity Theatre in Minneapolis on Thursday.
“Hello everybody, I’m very sad to say I’ve had to cancel my Chicago show tonight and my Minneapolis show tomorrow,” she said.
“We are working on rescheduling both shows so I will get back to you with news about those and I’m just really really sorry, but it’s just unavoidable. I’ve been battling it for two weeks.”
Allen is currently on tour in the US.
