Solange Knowles cancelled her Coachella set after her business partner, Armina Mussa, got stabbed in a brutal attack.
The younger sister of Beyonce was due to perform at the world-famous music festival in Indio, California, but decided not to after her friend was violently set upon.
More news!
Instead, she flew back to New Orleans when she heard the news.
Armina, 24, is Solange's project director at her Saint Heron brand, and the pair have been working together for some time.
A woman called Arronesia Christophe has been arrested and charged with attempted second-degree murder and was seen in court on Thursday, where Solange also appeared.
Ms Christophe denies the accusations and said she got a small folding knife out and used it in self defence when Mussa started shouting at her.
Meanwhile, Beyonce showed up at Coachella over the weekend for the day, before she and Solange jetted to Newport Beach in southern California to watch their mum Tina Knowles marry her partner Richard Lawson on a private yacht.
Happy birthday Beyonce! Check out her good, bad and Bey-ootiful looks

Back in the day Beyonce used to love a bit of shine. This brown two-piece was a treat. Or maybe more of a trick...

Yet more satin, this time a fishtail green number that would make Miss Piggy go weak at the knees. If she had any.

When you have a matchy scarf for your bridesmaid-inspo gown, it's time to re-think your style.
5 of 20Awards Bey in 2009
Taking the Oscars gold theme a tad far in a frock that made from Laurence Llewelyn Bowen's bedroom curtains...NAAAHT GOOD.

SO not the norm Beyonce but we loved this boho vibe.
16 of 20Jumper in 2013

Dramatic style for this year's MET Gala, wearing a sheer beaded gown with vampy lips and a glam head piece.

19 of 20Plunging in 2014
The singer's first look for this year's VMAs was a risque LBD with sheer paneling all over her butt. She totes pulled it off, too. Not literally, obvi.

The mum slipped out of her LBD for awards pics, changing into a ruby bodycon number with lace side panels. Racy.
