Singer Lorde got sick during her first rescheduled concert in Perth, Australia.

The concert happened July 5. She soon resumed her show after taking five minutes rest backstage.

The "Royals" hitmaker, who was forced to postpone her Australian tour in April due to exhaustion, halted her performance halfway into her fourth song, telling the audience at the city's Challenge Stadium that she needed to take a break, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The 17-year-old star went backstage after saying: "Perth, I'm so sorry, can you give me one minute? I'm just not feeling very well."

A member of her crew blamed the incident on "technical issues", but she suggested she was suffering from food poisoning when she returned and restarted her gig five minutes later.

She said: "I must have eaten something weird."

Hinting she had vomited, she added: "I've never had to do that. I love you and I'm so grateful to be here."

The teenager appeared to be in good spirits, but later took another moment to wrap a towel around her neck and admitted she "just felt tired".
