Grimes was opening the show for Florence and the Machine in Brooklyn when the incident happened.
Visibly upset and shaken, Grimes cut short her set at Barclay's in Brooklyn last night, as she felt unable to perform for the crowd.
The Canadian experimental electro-pop star left fans bemused when she walked off the stage after performing 'World Princess part II'. Alluding to a 'really disturbing thing' that happened earlier on in the day, the artists also known as Claire Boucher admitted that she was having a 'little trouble keeping it all together' before walking off stage. You can watch the fan video footage below.
Having left fans in a state of considerable confusion, Grimes took to Twitter today to state that she will reveal what went down on the day when she can safely to do.
I will explain what happened at Barclays once I can safely and legally do so.

She then called out those who had been speculating unfairly on fabricated reasons for her dramatic walk-off.
In the meantime "someone from Reddit" or fan accounts are not credible sources. Speculating about my mental health is not news. Thanks.

As dedicated fans of the unique Grimes, we hope that whatever it is that caused her to be upset enough not to be able to perform will recede – and that she can get back to what she does best – making the music – as soon as possible!
In happier news: I have a new song coming out on the suicide squad soundtrack!!!! It's called 'medieval warfare' ^_^ dreams becoming realiti
