She was expected to wow the audience with her typical edgy performance, but Rihanna had to cancel her scheduled Grammy performance at the last minute after coming down with a bout of bronchitis.

Rihanna, 27, is said to have even arrived at the event’s venue the Staple’s Centre, ready to perform after skipping the Red Carpet, but doctors warned her that she could potentially do damage to her voice if she went ahead with the planned performance of “Kiss it Better Twice.”

Rihanna has since tweeted an apology for her absence.
