Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins sickle cell health crisis

Overview

Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins, a member of the R&B group TLC, was hospitalized following a sickle cell crisis. The medical emergency forced the 56-year-old singer to step away from the group’s ‘It’s Iconic’ tour, including a performance at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut.

To maintain the tour schedule, organizers decided to proceed with remaining performances. Her bandmate, Rozonda ‘Chilli’ Thomas, has continued to perform the tour dates solo, supported by fellow acts Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue. Watkins’ representative, Christal Jordan, stated that Watkins is currently recovering and regaining her strength.
