Betty Who Battles E. coli Infection: Misses Performance at The Festival in New York's Hudson Valley

Betty Who, the Australian singer and actor, recently shared on Instagram that she was battling a severe E. coli infection, causing her to miss a performance at The Festival in New York's Hudson Valley. The festival, known as "Coachella For Broadway," featured a lineup of musical theater stars like Audra McDonald and Kelli O'Hara. Unfortunately, Who had to cancel her appearance due to the infection, which can cause symptoms like diarrhea, stomach pain, and fever.

Despite feeling sick before the event, Who flew to New York with the intention of toughing it out. However, upon landing, she knew something was wrong and sought medical attention. The festival organizers were understanding and accommodating, but Who expressed her disappointment at missing out on the event and apologized to her fans for her absence.

After returning home, Who was diagnosed with E. coli and experienced severe symptoms. She shared updates on her condition, mentioning that she was slowly recovering but still not back to full health. Despite the setback, Who found solace in watching the Cincinnati Open tennis tournament to pass the time.

Betty Who made her Broadway debut in 2023 and released her most recent album, "Big!" in 2022, followed by the EP "Love Yourself" in 2025. Her experience with the E. coli infection serves as a reminder of the importance of prioritizing health and well-being.
