Beyonce's sister Solange 'breaks out of hospital' to perform at Lovebox festival

Beyonce's sister Solange Knowles has claimed she broke out of hospital to perform at Lovebox festival in east London.

The musician was on stage speaking to the crowd in Victoria Park when she revealed she had been advised not to appear.

She said: "I was in hospital this morning. I was in hospital for three days.

"After my show I had a serious episode and was told I shouldn't perform.

"And so I broke out of that b**** this morning because I knew this place was going to be filled with so much love."

In between treating revellers to a string of tracks from her 2016 album A Seat At The Table, she said: "I want to come back when I'm feeling better because I'm giving you the best that I've got but I still have so much more in me.

"But I knew I was not missing seeing you and all of these popping ass black and brown people. So thank you for always being there for me. I have so much gratitude."

Performing on a stage drenched in red light with dancers and a brass band also dressed in red, the younger sister of Beyonce headlined the Noisey tent at the festival.

Frank Ocean is due to headline the main stage later on Friday.
