    TLC’s T-Boz suffered a medical crisis that forced the girl group to cancel two concerts.

    The 54-year-old singer, whose real name is Tionne Watkins, ended up in the hospital for a “severe abdominal blockage,” the group said in a statement on their Instagram Story over the weekend.

    They announced their shows at the NY State Fair on Friday and at Foxwoods in Connecticut on Saturday were both canceled.

    “After delivering an electric performance in Toledo, Ohio on Thursday, TLC was eagerly anticipating their next stop at the New York State Fair in Syracuse,” the statement began.

    “However, shortly after arriving in Syracuse, Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins experienced sudden and severe nausea, vomiting, and intense abdominal cramps. She was immediately seen by a doctor and subsequently taken to the hospital for further evaluation.”

    “Last evening,” the group went on, “Tionne was diagnosed with a severe abdominal blockage, necessitating the cancellation of both the Syracuse and Foxwoods performances. She remains in the hospital under medical supervision but is expected to be released tomorrow. The doctor verified this was not food poisoning, but an abdominal blockage.”

    “We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Your support means the world to us, and we look forward to the opportunity to perform for you in the near future,” the statement added.
