Bad news for FEARNOTs heading to the Paris show tonight. LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura will not be performing at the group’s PUREFLOW concert in Paris on October 21 after falling ill, agency SOURCE MUSIC announced.

The announcement came just hours before the show. According to the agency, the Japanese idol was advised by local medical professionals in Paris to rest after displaying symptoms including sudden high fever and physical fatigue.
What SOURCE MUSIC said
In an official statement, SOURCE MUSIC said: “On the morning of October 21st (Paris local time), Sakura was advised by local medical professionals to rest and recuperate for the time being after displaying symptoms such as sudden high fever, and physical fatigue.” The agency confirmed that “Sakura will not participate in the 2026 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘PUREFLOW’ IN PARIS scheduled for today.”
The agency apologized to fans, noting that this is the group’s first solo concert in Paris, making the last-minute news especially disappointing for those who had been waiting for the performance. SOURCE MUSIC added that it “will do its best to help Sakura recuperate and return in good health.”
What happens to the rest of the tour?
So far, the agency has not said whether Sakura will miss any other dates on the PUREFLOW tour — only tonight’s Paris concert was confirmed as cancelled for her. Fans will be watching for updates on whether she is cleared to rejoin the group for upcoming stops.
It’s a rough break for a group in the middle of a huge touring year, but health comes first — here’s hoping Sakura gets plenty of rest and bounces back quickly.
