Halsey suddenly stopped her show at the Saddledome last night, reportedly after learning about a family emergency.

Her stage name is an anagram of her real first name — Ashley — and was taken from Brooklyn street where she spent time as a teenager. Her song Now or Never was her first to chart the Billboard Hot 100 as a lead artist.

The singer last performed in Edmonton at the final Sonic Boom outdoor music festival in 2016.
