In an unexpected turn of events, TLC had to cancel two concerts in the Northeast this weekend due to health concerns surrounding T-Boz, one of the group’s iconic members. The cancellations came as a shock to fans and event organizers, with many eagerly awaiting the performances.
Syracuse Concert Cancelled Last Minute
On Friday night, TLC was set to perform at the New York State Fair in Syracuse. However, just 30 minutes before the show, the band announced the cancellation, initially believing that T-Boz, whose real name is Tionne Watkins, was suffering from food poisoning. The press release from the band described how T-Boz suddenly began experiencing severe nausea, vomiting, and intense abdominal cramps shortly after arriving in Syracuse.
Diagnosis Changes Everything
Following her initial symptoms, T-Boz was quickly seen by a doctor and later taken to the hospital for further evaluation. It was then discovered that her condition was far more serious than initially thought—she had an abdominal blockage, not food poisoning. Due to this, the band also had to cancel their Saturday concert at Foxwoods in Connecticut.
T-Boz Apologizes to Fans
T-Boz expressed deep regret over the cancellations and extended her sincere apologies to fans and event promoters. According to the band’s statement, the decision to cancel was made under the strict advisement of her physician, who required her to stay in the hospital overnight for a CT scan to assess the severity of her condition. As of Saturday, T-Boz was still hospitalized but was expected to be released sometime on Sunday.
T-Boz’s Update and Recovery
Despite the health scare, T-Boz remained optimistic. On Sunday morning, she shared a message with fans on social media, saying she was “on the mend” and expressing her hope to leave the hospital soon. In her post, she reassured fans that this was just an unexpected event she had no control over and that she looked forward to making it up to them once she recovered.
TLC’s Journey Continues
TLC, now a duo consisting of T-Boz and Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas, has faced challenges over the years, especially following the tragic death of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes in 2002. Despite the recent setback, fans are hopeful that T-Boz will make a full recovery, and the band will continue to deliver the performances they are known for.
Fans and Promoters Disappointed
The news of the cancellations spread quickly, with the photographer for the New York State Fair posting the announcement on Instagram. He noted that the band had not made it for their afternoon sound check and updated followers with the official reason for the cancellation—T-Boz’s extended hospital stay due to the abdominal blockage.
Fans and promoters alike were disappointed by the turn of events, but many took to social media to express their support and well wishes for T-Boz’s recovery. The health of the beloved “No Scrubs” singer remains a priority as everyone hopes for her swift return to the stage.
