You may want to sit down for this, especially if you bought tickets to Coachella this year. Beyoncé Knowles [1] has dropped out of the festival. The official announcement [2] was made on Coachella's verified Facebook page on Thursday. "Following the advice of her doctors to keep a less rigorous schedule in the coming months," the post said, "Beyoncé has made the decision to forgo performing at the 2017 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival." As a silver lining, Goldenvoice and Parkwood confirmed that Knowles would instead headline the 2018 festival. The official Coachella lineup [3] was released just last month, and came just a few weeks before the singer announced her second pregnancy [4]. The question now becomes, who in the hell could replace Queen Bey?!
