Beyonce Won't Attend Coachella 2017: Know What her Management Company has to Say
Beyoncé will not in fact be performing at Coachella, due to her pregnancy.
According to AP News, Beyoncé's management company, Parkwood Entertainment, put out a statement with festival producer Goldenvoice Thursday to reveal that she would not be headlining per doctor's orders.
"Following the advice of her doctors to keep a less rigorous schedule in the coming months, Beyoncé has made the decision to forgo performing at the 2017 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival,".
But the Beyhive can still expect a Coachella performance in the future. The statement also confirmed that Beyoncé will headline the 2018 festival. Meanwhile, the 2017 festival will continue on with co-headliners Radiohead and Kendrick Lamar. It remains to be seen if a third musician will replace Beyoncé.
Beyoncé is currently very pregnant with twins, as she revealed on Instagram February 1. She performed at the Grammys on Feb. 12, though it was a much less athletic performance than usual considering the circumstances.
The Grammys became the subject of controversy yet again when Beyoncé did not win Album of the Year for her landmark LP "Lemonade." Adele's "25" won instead, and while very appreciative of the Recording Academy's honor, she took much of her speech to heap praise on Beyoncé.
"I can't possibly accept this award, and I'm very humble and I'm very grateful and gracious but my artist of my life is Beyoncé," Adele stated during her speech, with tears in her eyes. "This album to me, the 'Lemonade' album, was just so monumental, Beyoncé, it was so monumental and so well-thought-out and so beautiful and soul-bearing and we all got to see another side to you that you don't always let us see and we appreciate that."
Beyoncé was clearly emotional about Adele's words, mouthing "thank you, Adele" and "I love you" in reply.
"All us artists here we f---ing adore you," Adele continued. "You are our light. And the way you made me and my friends feel, the way you made my black friends feel is empowering and you make them stand up for themselves and I love you."
