Beyoncé pulls out of Coachella but promises to headline in 2018

The term "breaking the internet" gets thrown around a lot these days, but that's definitely what happened when Beyoncé posted a surprise snap of her baby bump on Instagram last month. 

After the initial shock had worn off (and the ten million likes were secured) people began to question if Beyoncé would be able to honour one particular work commitment this coming summer.

The pop sensation was set to headline at the ultimate American music festival, Coachella, but fans speculated that she would be five or six months pregnant with twins by that stage. 

The festival has announced that the soon-to-be mum-of-three will no longer be performing, after weeks of consideration.

"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," reads a statement on the Coachella Facebook page.

"However, Goldenvoice and Parkwood are pleased to confirm that she will be a headliner at the 2018 festival. Thank you for your understanding."

According to TMZ previously, the news was a shock to Coachella executives, with a source saying: "At least some of the top execs had no idea Bey was expecting, and it now makes her headlining gig at the festival problematic."

We're sure Coachella fans will understand.
