Former "American Idol" winner Fantasia Barrino had to cancel a performance at the Fedex Forum in Memphis, Tennessee, due to an accident that left her burned, according to a post on her Instagram account.

An initial post said Barrino would not be able to perform due to "unexpected health issues."

A follow-up message posted an hour later by Barrino's husband said she "experienced an accident causing second degree burns on her arm."

The post also said her team is working to "create a means that she can redeem this time" with fans in Tennessee.

Barrino was to perform with Johnny Gill and Charlie Wilson.

It was not immediately clear how the singer was injured.
