Grammy-winning singer Solange has pulled out of the upcoming Coachella Music and Arts Festival, citing โ€œmajor production delays.โ€

Solange, who had gotten top billing for the festival, was scheduled to perform Saturday.

โ€œDue to major production delays, Solange will unfortunately no longer be performing at this yearโ€™s festival,โ€ Coachella officials tweeted. โ€œShe sends her sincerest apologies and looks forward to performing at Coachella in the future.โ€

Solange, an accomplished singer, songwriter and DJ, appeared last year at the festival, where she joined her older sister Beyoncรฉ.

She released her new album, โ€œWhen I Get Home,โ€ last month.

A spokesperson for Solange declined further comment.
