Nothing can stop Toni Braxton, not even her battle with lupus.
The singer was hospitalized recently stemming from complications with her illness, forcing her to postpone two California shows that were originally scheduled for this week. However, she still plans to continue the rest of her tour starting October 12 in Detroit.
"I am so excited about going back on the road and seeing all of my wonderful fans and friends," Braxton commented in a statement that was released to E! News. "Everyone's life is complicated and this is just a condition that I live with."
The singer, who has been suffering from lupus since 2010, was released from the hospital earlier this week and is currently taking some downtime in the comfort of her own house.
A rep for Braxton told E! News, "Toni is resting at home and she is fine. She was in an L.A. hospital for a few days, being treated for her Lupus. She has been released and starts rehearsals for her upcoming tour this week."
The rep added, "She was not in serious condition, though Lupus is a serious disease and must be monitored at all times."
Braxton has opened up about living with lupus before, and during an interview with Huffington Post in 2015, she admitted that taking the stage when she isn't feeling well is one of her most difficult tasks.
"That's the toughest part, when I have to perform," she explained. "So often, when it's like that, it's a lot of, 'You sing!' to the audience, you know. They kind of help me out a little bit without realizing it."
Still, she has yet to cancel a show.
"I've never done that. Even if I can't perform, I still figure it out," she told HuffPo. "Sometimes I look back [at] that evening [and] I go, 'How did I get through that?'"
Our well wishes are with the strong singer.
