Solange announced some disappointing news on Wednesday; the A Seat at the Table singer was supposed to perform on New Year's Eve, however she has now cancelled her show and announced she's been battling an nervous disorder.

Solange was supposed to play at Afropunk in South Africa on December 31, but announced the news in a lengthy Instagram post explaining the situation.

"Wrote, deleted and re-wrote this like five times... Still not sure what exactly or how much I want to share... However it’s so important to me for the people in South Africa, a place that has tremendous meaning to me and that has given me SO SO MUCH, to know why I won’t be performing at Afro Punk this NYE. The past five months I have been quietly treating, and working through an Autonomic Disorder."

She didn't reveal too much about the state of her condition, but she did say her diagnosis was "complicated" and that doctors didn't think playing the concert was in her best interest.

"It been a journey that hasn’t been easy on me," she continued. "Sometimes I feel cool, and other times not so cool at all. It’s a complicated diagnoses , and I’m still learning so much myself, but right now, my doctors are not clearing me for such an extended lengthy flight, and doing a rigorous show right after."

Last August, the 31-year-old singer did a stunning performance at Afropunk in New York.

Despite the setback, Solange is determined to return to South Africa to make it up to her fans.

"I can’t put into words how saddened and sorry I am that I am unable to perform for you guys this NYE, there is simply no other place I wanted to be than there with my family to bring in 2018 with you.......but I give you my ABSOLUTE WORD I will come back with AfroPunk and deliver this performance.....as it is so extremely important to me to connect with the people who have so closely inspired me in so many ways."

We hope she has a speedy recovery.
