From the city of Albany office of special events:

In a statement to WEQX, MS MR lead singer Lizzy Plapinger said, "I wanted to personally reach out and apologize for having to cancel our performance at Tulip Festival on Saturday. We both went to college in upstate New York and have an incredibly special place in our hearts for it, making this event all the more personal and important to us. I've been bedridden all week and can't even walk around. We would NEVER cancel a show unless we had to and it was serious (which this is) and hope you will understand. Luckily it looks like you've booked a lot of other awesome bands so it should still be a great event. Hopefully we can make it up to you as soon as possible!"
