After it was originally announced Beyoncé was performing, both weekends of Coachella sold out in three hours. And the general admission starting price was $399. (Record time for a Coachella sellout, according to LA Weekly, was 40 minutes in 2015. Because Drake, Jack White and AC/DC?)

It turns out, however, that being very pregnant with twins isn't great for performing in front of thousands of people.
