Welcome to your Daily Lowdown from HELLO! In today's episode, we discuss how Beyonce left her fans hanging when her Renaissance show in Arizona suffered a sound difficulty.

Beyonce left her fans waiting this week when she walked off the stage mid-song due to what appeared to be a technical error with the sound. The superstar was performing to a sold-out crowd in Glendale, Arizona, when she exited the stage during the song Alien Superstar after the power reportedly cut out. Fans at the stadium were then left hanging for about ten minutes before Queen Bey made a return in a new outfit and performed the song again. Beyonce even made a reference to the moment later in the show when she joked that it was the fans being loud that caused the sound issue.
