Suffering a personal emergency, Halsey has cancelled her Wednesday night show at Rogers Place.

The New Jersey-born 23-year-old electropop singer-songwriter is currently on her hopeless fountain kingdom tour in support of her radio-friendly second album, and Live Nation announced the cancellation by press release Wednesday morning.

Halsey suddenly stopped her show at the Saddledome last night, reportedly after learning about a family emergency.

Her stage name is an anagram of her real first name — Ashley — and was taken from Brooklyn street where she spent time as a teenager. Her song Now or Never was her first to chart the Billboard Hot 100 as a lead artist.

The singer last performed in Edmonton at the final Sonic Boom outdoor music festival in 2016.

Tickets purchased online and over the phone will be refunded automatically. In-person purchasers are directed back to the point of sale for a full refund.
