As for SZA, she announced earlier in August that she’s stepping away from the stage for the foreseeable future. The announcement came after she headlined Montreal’s Osheaga Festival on Aug. 5.
“Yesterday was my last show for a while,” SZA wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Finally bout to get my life together thank u God.”
