Megan Thee Stallion quits Moulin Rouge after Klay Thompson split

Megan Thee Stallion has quit her role in Moulin Rouge! The Musical almost three weeks early.

The rapper was due to play Zidler in the Broadway stage show until 17 May, but announced on Instagram her last show at New York's Al Hirschfeld Theatre would now be 1 May.

Grammy award winner Megan, 31, was rushed to hospital at the end of March during a performance, and last week revealed she had split from basketball player Klay Thompson.

Announcing her departure, Megan said: "It's been such an honor to be part of thee Moulin Rouge family."

The star did not give a reason for her early exit, but US media have linked it to her public break-up with NBA star Thompson.
