BALTIMORE -- Pop superstar Lizzo canceled multiple concerts in the last week over health concerns, which might have local fans wondering if Baltimore could be next. 

The singer, rapper and flutist is set to perform Tuesday night at the newly-renovated CFG Bank Arena, but said in an Instagram post last week she had "extreme, flu-like symptoms."

Lizzo continued to say that she hasn't tested positive for COVID-19, but did test positive for strep throat. 

The star postponed her Saturday show in Hartford, CT and a Thursday show in Montreal, but said she plans on rescheduling both concerts. 

Though it's the eve of her show in Charm City, it remains unclear whether Lizzo is feeling ready to perform. 

Her last performance was on April 26 in Memphis, Tennessee. She also performed in Knoxville, Tennessee a few days earlier, where she made headlines for bringing a group of drag performers on stage in protest of an anti-drag bill the state had passed.
