Grimes cancels Pride performance due to 'family issues'
May 27 (UPI) -- Grimes is canceling a Pride performance amid "family issues."
The singer, 37, had been slated to perform at WorldPride Music Festival Global Dance Party in Washington, D.C., on June 6. The event celebrates LGBTQ+ Pride.
"I am so sorry and regretful to say I have to cancel my Pride show in order to deal with family issues," Grimes wrote on X Monday. "I want to say that I am aware the situation has been a great inconvenience to the fans for some time, and I am truly determined to make sure this is no longer the case very soon."
Troye Sivan, Kim Petras, Purple Disco Machine, Raye, RuPaul and Sofi Tukker are among the other performers taking the stage that Saturday.
Jennifer Lopez, Galantis, Marina, Paris Hilton, Rita Ora and Betty Who will perform Friday.
"I think the show is going to be amazing and the lineup is great," Grimes added. "I hope this is early enough and gives people enough time if they wish to change their plans. And I will make this up to you guys very soon. So much love always."
Hello friends,

I want to say that I am aware the situation has been a great inconvenience to the fans for some time, and I am truly determined to make sure this is no...— ⏳ (@Grimezsz) May 26, 2025
The singer had sent a social media message to Elon Musk, her former partner and the father of her three children, in February, asking him to "respond about our child's medical crisis."
"I am sorry to do this publicly but it is no longer acceptable to ignore this situation," she said.
It is unclear if the "family issues" are related to this event.

In the trailer released Wednesday, the cheerleaders anticipate the results of a competitive audition process. "You're like 'when we make this team, we're gonna make it together 'cause we're friends,'" a hopeful says as the girls laugh and eat pizza together. "But then it doesn't always end up like that." The sophomore season will give a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the cheerleading squad during the 2024-2025 NFL football season, beginning with tryouts. "DCC (Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders) is the pinnacle of professional cheerleading, and Kelli Finglass, the team director, and Judy Trammell, the head choreographer, have returned to find the 36 best dancers from this smiling army of hopefuls," the official synopsis reads. Greg Whitely (Cheer) directs Season 2, which arrives roughly a year after the docuseries premiered.

File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo June 4 (UPI) -- The Snow White live-action remake will arrive on Disney+ June 11, the streamer announced Wednesday. The musical fantasy film reimagines Disney's 1937 animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Rachel Zegler, 23, stars in the titular role, which she described as "the hardest thing" she's ever done. "It's amazingly rewarding when you see it and when you complete it to say that this is a thing that we did, but you basically do three different versions of every scene," Zegler told Jimmy Kimmel in March. Gal Gadot portrays the Evil Queen, whose jealousy of Snow White prompts her to try and kill her stepdaughter. "The classic story comes to life on Disney +," the streamer wrote in an Instagram post announcing the title's arrival.
