Toni Braxton Hospitalized
Toni Braxton is on the mend and in "good condition" following a health scare.
The 40-year-old "Un-Break My Heart" singer was admitted to Las Vegas' St. Rose Dominican Hospital for chest pains Monday night.
The six-time Grammy winner, in Vegas headlining a five-nights-a-week show at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino, was listed in good condition shortly after her admittance and was released from the hospital Tuesday afternoon.
But according to a Flamingo rep, Braxton won't be able to go on with her Revealed show right away—her performances have been canceled through April 15.
"We wish Toni a quick recovery and would like her to take the time she needs to regain optimal health," said Don Marrandino, the resort's president . "We are looking forward to her return."
The singer's agent at ICM, Mark Seigel, would not comment on Braxton's hospitalization.
Though several reports have erroneously claimed that Braxton was taken to the hospital immediately after a performance, there was no Revealed scheduled for Monday. (The show is dark on Sundays and Mondays.) Hotel officials also clarified that Braxton was not at the casino at the time.
Braxton has previously admitted suffering from a condition called pericarditis, an inflammation of the lining of the heart, which she was diagnosed with four years ago.
In a January interview with Newsweek, Braxton said she periodically suffers from heart flutters and high blood pressure.
Since her disclosure, Braxton has since been named a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association.
