"I am obviously extremely sick, and I thought I did everything to make myself better, and obviously, two songs in, I just can't play this show tonight," she told the crowd .

Fans in the arena responded with shouts of support, with one audience member yelling "That's OK Meg, I love you," as the tearful singer walked off stage .

Following her abrupt exit, Moroney took to Instagram to share a heartfelt apology with her fans. She described the decision to cancel as "the hardest decision I've ever had to make" and expressed her deep regret at disappointing the Denver crowd .

"I never ever will give you guys a show that is not 100% and by song 3 I knew that I was not capable of giving that to you tonight," she wrote . "I'm typing this as I'm quite literally bawling my eyes out in my dressing room & it hurts me so much to disappoint you all" .

Ball Arena also released a statement confirming the cancellation due to illness, adding that updates would be posted on the venue's website .
