Many fans have been concerned after Lil Durk was injured after his performance at this year's Lollapalooza as he was reportedly injured due to failed stage props; the rapper recently spoke out to reveal his next step following the incident.

According to Pitchfork, the 29-year-old musician was performing at Grant Park in Chicago when pyrotechnics exploded in front of him.

After the shocking incident, Lil Durk stopped rapping and appeared to wipe his eyes as the DJ checked on him, asking if he was okay.

Following the performance, the rapper took to his official Instagram account to share a photo of himself with a bandage on his right eye.

He also announced that he's taking a break to focus on his health.

"Due to the incident that happened at Lollapalooza in Chicago on stage, I'ma take a break & focus on my health," he wrote.

He concluded the post by saying he completed his set and he appreciate his fans.
