“Tionne deeply regrets having to cancel these shows and extends her sincere apologies to all her fans and the event promoters,” TLC said in the statement. “The decision to cancel was made under the advisement of her physician, who required her to stay in the hospital overnight to undergo a CT scan to assess the severity of her condition,” the statement read.

The group plans to reschedule the canceled shows in the future.

“TLC is committed to rescheduling the canceled shows and apologizes to all the fans, particularly those who traveled long distances to attend. The group appreciates the understanding and support,” the statement concluded.

Watkins' latest health condition occurred three months after TLC canceled Canadian tour dates in May because she and crew membershad the flu.

“We deeply regret to inform you that we must cancel the upcoming date. Unfortunately, a few members of our tour, including T-Boz, have fallen ill with the flu. As a result, she has lost her voice. Doctors have advised her not to perform this week,” TLC said in a statement at the time.
