The "Formation" singer, 35, who is expecting twins, will
however headline the event in 2018, organizers said in a
statement.
"Following the advice of her doctors to keep a less rigorous
schedule in the coming months, Beyonce has made the decision to
forgo performing at the 2017 Coachella Valley Music & Arts
Festival," the statement from festival organizer Golden Voice
and Beyonce's Parkwood Entertainment said.
"However, Goldenvoice and Parkwood are pleased to confirm that
she will be a headliner at the 2018 festival. Thank you for your
understanding."
Beyonce was due to headline the annual festival in the Southern
California desert on April 15 and April 22. It was not clear who
would replace her.
The R&B singer performed at the Grammy ceremony on Feb. 12,
where she proudly displayed a large baby bump and took home two
awards.
Beyonce and her rapper husband Jay Z, who have a five year-old
daughter Blue Ivy, have not said when the twins are due.
