TLC, the iconic girl group known for hits like "Creep," "Waterfalls," "No Scrubs," and "Unpretty," has unfortunately had to cancel some of their shows due to a member falling ill. Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins, one of the group's founding members, was diagnosed with an 'abdominal blockage' and was advised by her doctor to cancel two upcoming performances. This news comes as a disappointment to fans, especially as the group is currently on tour in the United States.
Formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 1990, TLC rose to fame quickly and became one of the most successful girl groups of all time. Alongside Watkins, the group consisted of Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes and Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas. Their music dominated the charts in the 90s, with nine top-ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including four number-one singles. They have sold over 65 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling American girl group in history.
The unfortunate news of Watkins' illness came after a performance in Toledo, Ohio on Thursday, where she experienced sudden and severe symptoms including nausea, vomiting, and intense abdominal cramps. She was immediately taken to a doctor who diagnosed her with an abdominal blockage. As a result, TLC had to cancel their show at the New York State Fair in Syracuse, New York and a performance at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut. The group is committed to rescheduling these shows and apologizes to fans, especially those who had traveled long distances to attend.
This is not the first time TLC has had to cancel shows due to illness. A few months ago, they had to cancel tour dates in Canada because Watkins and other crew members were struck with the flu. Watkins even lost her voice and was advised by doctors not to perform. However, she is now on the mend and shared an update with fans on Instagram, expressing her gratitude for their understanding and support.
TLC was originally a trio, but after the tragic death of Lopes in a car accident in 2002, the group now performs as a duo consisting of Watkins and Thomas. They continue to honor Lopes' memory and have become an iconic and timeless group in the music industry. We wish Watkins a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing TLC back on stage soon.
