Rosalia was forced to cancel a concert midstream for the first time , owing to a serious case of food poisoning that forced her offstage.

The 33-year-old Catalan songstress was performing at the Unipol Forum in Milan on Wednesday when she announced she was feeling ill.

'I've tried to do this show. Since the beginning I've been sick,' she could be seen informing the crowd in fan footage posted to X, formerly .

'I've had, como, big time food poisoning and I've tried to push it till the end, but I'm feeling extremely sick,' said the Malamente hitmaker.

'I'm puking out there. And I really wanna give the best show, and I'm like on the floor, doing my best,' she continued to supportive noises from the audience.

She vowed to 'try to keep going' but confessed that 'maybe at some point I'll have to stop,' reminding the crowd of how 'extremely sick' she was feeling.

'I'm really trying. I'm gonna push as much as I can. But if we have to stop - we might have to stop if I really physically, I can't keep going. I mean, I'm in pain.'

Ultimately she walked offstage and closed the show, offering a wan wave to the cheering audience and wearing a stricken expression on her face.

Rosalia is then booked to travel through Latin America, first with South American cities such as Bogota, Santiago, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro.

She will then head back north to play three Mexican cities - Tlajomulco de Zuniga, Monterrey and Mexico City - and then San Juan, Puerto Rico on September 3.

In an interview last year, Rosalia remarked that 'making albums and performing' is her 'mission,' while 'performing is an act for others,' via Billboard

'I don’t like touring. I like to be onstage and I love my fans, so I do it. But I love being in my home, calm, reading, cooking, going to the gym, lifting weights and going to sleep. Literally, that makes me so happy; I don’t need a lot,' she said with a laugh.

'When you travel, it’s much harder; psychologically it’s a challenge, always. But I also know that there are other jobs that have so much complexity and challenges, and I feel so grateful that I can be a musician,' she acknowledged.
