Lil Durk has announced that he is taking a break to “focus on [his] health” after sustaining an injury on stage at Lollapalooza festival.
The rapper had been performing at the Chicago music event on Sunday when he walked into a pyrotechnic cannon during his song “Back In Blood”.
He was hit in the face with two blasts of smoke and stumbled backwards, with the set quickly stopping as he was attended by crew.
However, the 29-year-old continued the set, telling the crowd: “F*** it, no more smoke, let’s do it.”
On Sunday (31 July) night, Lil Durk shared a photo to Instagram from a hospital bed, where he could be seen with a large patch over his right eye.
“Due to the incident that happened at Lollapalooza in Chicago on stage, I’ma take a break and focus on my health,” he told his 14 million followers.
