Phoebe Bridgers was forced to cancel her U.K. concerts after being hospitalized on her 32nd birthday. 

The Cool About It songstress, who seemingly took a dig at ex Paul Mescal and his girlfriend Gracie Abrams in a new track, jumped to her Instagram stories on Wednesday to share a snap of herself resting in a hospital bed. 

'I got appendicitis for my birthday,' she penned to her fans in text added over the image. 

'Everything in the UK this week will have to move but I'll make it up to you!!!!' Bridgers concluded.

Bridgers officially rang in her 32nd birthday on August 17, and notably performed two sold-out shows at Union Chapel in London before her health incident.
