Christine and the Queens' Coachella set cancelled following the death of her mother
The ‘Girlfriend’ singer was set to perform on Saturday, April 20 at the second weekend of Coachella Festival
Héloïse Letissier revealed in a tweet that she has flown home to be with her family following the death of her mother earlier in the week. The tweet, written in French, read: “I can only write very simple sentences. I lost my mother on Tuesday night. I came home to go through this ordeal with my loved ones-I won't be able to sing this Saturday. I kiss you.”
Je n’arrive qu’à écrire des phrases très simples. J’ai perdu ma mère dans la nuit de mardi. Je suis rentrée pour traverser cette épreuve avec mes proches - je ne pourrai pas chanter ce samedi. Je vous embrasse.
