Azealia Banks cancels Lollapalooza performance


Instead of wearing a mind-boggling leotard with cutouts at Lollapalooza this weekend, singer Azealia Banks will most likely be wearing baggy sweats and sipping tea.

The singer canceled her performance at Chicago's famous music festival because of a throat infection, according to Billboard.com.

This will be the second year in a row that the singer has canceled a show at the last minute. Last year, she dropped out of a few music festivals in Europe, blaming her old management for booking her without her consent. At the time, she says, she was hard at work on her new album, Broke With Expensive Taste, which, by the way, has yet to come out.

During 2012's Splendour in the Grass festival in Australia, she played for only 25 minutes, saying the festival's equipment was faulty. And then, at another Australia show, she claimed The Stone Roses ruined her set by sound-checking during her performance.

With this pattern, Banks may very well indeed be broke with expensive taste.
