Rising hip-hop star Chance The Rapper has been hospitalized and canceled his Coachella set scheduled for today.

Writing on his Facebook page, the Chicago rapper's management says:

On behalf of Chance and our entire team- We sincerely regret to have to cancel our 2nd weekend at coachella. Chance fell ill on Friday night & was admitted to the hospital today- Doctors and family are with him & he is expected to make a full recovery. Thank you for the prayers and support during this time, Chance, the CTR team and family deeply appreciate it.

Best,
CTR MGMT.



Last weekend, Chance was joined onstage by a floppy-hat wearing Justin Bieber, one of the festival's most meme-worthy moments.We don't want to speculate on what's wrong with Chance, but if you're out in the desert, drink plenty of water and keep control of your controlled substance intake.
