The ‘Messy’ singer and NME Cover star performed on the Mojave Stage, but in posts shared on social media, it is clear that she was fighting against a sickness bug during the hour-long set.

“I’m either going to faint or throw up, one of the two is about to happen,” she told the crowd. “Guys, tell me I’ve got this.”

Later on, she added: “I feel a bit sick, so if I do throw up, I apologise, please don’t post it on the interweb.” Other clips show her drinking from a water bottle and tapping her throat, as she struggles through the performance.
