Azealia Banks Cancels Osheaga and Lollapalooza Appearances

Azealia Banks is no stranger to controversy, but the latest bad news from the rising rapper is simply just a bummer — she's had to cancel some upcoming shows.

Word from Banks's camp is that the intense rapper was forced to pull out of the fests "due to a severe throat infection." This affects her upcoming stops at Lollapalooza and, sad for us Canadians, Osheaga.

The latter is especially disappointing, as the festival also recently lost Frank Ocean due to a torn vocal cord.

No word yet on if festival organizers plan to replace Banks with anyone.

Thanks to Consequence of Sound for the tip.
