Pop star Beyonce's concert in North Carolina was temporarily halted due to a lightning storm.

The 34-year-old singer is currently on the road as part of her Formation World Tour, and took to the stage for an open-air gig at the Carter-Finley Stadium Raleigh on May 3, reported MTV online.

Beyonce did not let the rain stop her from belting out her biggest hits on the stage but as the weather became more extreme and the lightning began, the star was rushed off stage for safety reasons.

The crowds were evacuated from the venue as the storm raged, but Beyonce's Formation World Tour Twitter page promised the singer wasn't intending to let the storm rain on her parade.
 

"Again, the show has been temporarily suspended due to lightning in the area. Beyonce plans to come back on stage once the storm passes," the tour tweeted.

"Looks like this band of storms is passing, but there may be more behind. Beyonce wants to finish this show and plans to return. #Raleigh," they added shortly afterwards.
