TLC's T-Boz, whose real name is Tionne Watkins, has been admitted to the hospital due to a severe abdominal blockage, forcing the cancellation of two upcoming concerts. The 54-year-old singer experienced sudden and intense symptoms including nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps shortly after arriving in Syracuse for their performance at the New York State Fair.

In an Instagram statement, TLC announced that their shows at the NY State Fair and at Foxwoods in Connecticut had to be cancelled due to T-Boz's medical condition. She was immediately attended by a doctor and subsequently taken to the hospital for further evaluation. It was later confirmed that she has a severe abdominal blockage, and medical supervision is required.

The decision to cancel the shows was made based on the advice of T-Boz's physician, who instructed her to stay in the hospital overnight for a CT scan to determine the severity of her condition. TLC expressed their deep regret for the cancellation and extended sincere apologies to their fans and event promoters.

However, in a subsequent Instagram update, T-Boz assured her followers that she is "on the mend." She explained that the medical crisis was unexpected and beyond her control, expressing gratitude for their understanding and support. She also expressed hope for a speedy recovery, aiming to be released from the hospital as early as tomorrow.

This is not the first time that TLC has faced challenges with their tour. In May, the group had to reschedule four shows in Canada due to flu-related illnesses affecting T-Boz and other members of their touring band. In a statement at the time, TLC apologized for any inconvenience caused and expressed their gratitude for the fans' support, promising to reschedule the postponed shows in the near future.

Despite these setbacks, TLC remains committed to their fans and has promised to reschedule the two cancelled concerts. Their determination to deliver outstanding performances and make it up to their loyal supporters shines through in their message of gratitude and resilience.

As T-Boz continues her recovery, fans eagerly await updates on her progress and look forward to witnessing TLC's electrifying performances once again.
