“I couldn’t move,” she said, lying on a hospital bed as she spoke to her fans.

Hendrix said the doctor advised her to rest for a day or two.
“Halloween is my favorite, and I’m devastated. 💔,” she captioned the video. “I was beyond excited to share what we had worked so hard on, although you’ll see a version of it. With your support, I’ll be back in the ballroom next week. I want nothing more.”
