Lauren Hill has bowed out on her New Jersey concert yet again.

After coming down with a stomach bug, the former Fugees star (who is a New Jersey native) cancelled the Friday show, which was a rescheduled performance for another show she axed in December.

"She came down with a stomach bug/virus...and received medical attention ... Her condition unfortunately did not improve for (the) performance. We apologize for any inconvenience," her rep said in a statement to MSN.

The show was canceled Friday, hours before she was scheduled to perform.

Ironically, Hill seemed to be just fine when she performed a tribute to the Beatles on The Late Show With David Letterman Friday night, singing "Something."

Before fans got up in arms about that appearance though, her rep said the Grammy winner taped that show before she got sick, adding, "For clarity, her performance on 'The Late Show With David Letterman' was pre-recorded on Thursday, not on Friday when it aired."

According to Vibe, Hill's performance on Letterman marked her first appearance on television in three years, following her three-month stint in prison for tax evasion.
