Bobby Brown has announced that he’s pulled out of New Edition‘s upcoming shows due to “exhaustion,” according to a recent press release.
Last month, Brown and his former groupmates kicked off the Legacy tour alongside Guy and Keith Sweat. Tank has also joined the old-school crooners on the road as their special guest. The Boston-bred boy band was expected to perform in Houston and Dallas.
However, according to a statement via Brown’s attorney Christopher Brown, the R&B legend couldn’t take the stage with his New Edition bandmates in Houston and Dallas due to exhaustion. “To my New Edition Texas fans, I love you, and I’m sorry I missed you this weekend. San Diego-Be ready!! You will get the best of me and my New Edition brothers,” Brown said in a statement.
New Edition will perform at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California on Thursday, April 6. The Legendary tour is scheduled to make pitstops in Las Vegas, Inglewood, Oakland, Baltimore, Tampa, and other cities.
Prior to the tour kicking off, special guest Tank helped pay tribute to the iconic group with his latest singing challenge, in which he channeled New Edition with a cover of their 1988 anthem “Can You Stand the Rain.”
In early March, the R&B artist took to Instagram to kick off the challenge, which featured him on his home piano singing along to the New Edition hit while simultaneously challenging the likes of original group member Johnny Gill, New Edition Story actor Luke James and “abused angel” Kevin Hart.
“I’m calling out the originator @realjohnnygill22 I’m calling out his stunt double @wolfjames,” he wrote. “I’m calling one of the coldest young voices in the world @musiqcity and i’m calling out the man with the voice of an abused angel @kevinhart4real #cystrbreathingchallenge LETS GOOOOO!!! R&B MONEY!!”
The singer was presumably looking to follow up on the success that his previous “Can We Talk?” Challenge. Going viral via TikTok in late 2021, singers showed off their vocal talents while covering Tevin Campbell’s silky chorus on the song of the same name.
I pull out due to exhaustion sometimes…
LOL I know right! Gotta get that a/c and fan just right so we can hit it all night! LOL
Hilarious 😂
Lol…I’m here for the comments..
Needs to lose weight 😂
It could be other issues. Just because you are overweight doesn’t always mean you ore out of shape. It could also be stress. Stop judging and pray for him.
It has nothing to do with weight or cocaine!! You have a stroke and two heart attacks….see if you can still perform in concerts as before!!!
Exactly
Amen
Needs to lose weight 😂
Needs to lose weight 😂.
Don’t be cruel. Every little step he takes must leave him winded.
Yeah just a little I think he gets short winded we love u bobbbby
His heart is weak. Years of Cocaine use has damaged the heart muscles and so not enough blood is being pumped to support NE rigorous dance moves. This has nothing to do with exhaustion.
Lmao that weak heart is literally causing the exhaustion. So it does.
But both things can be true.
Bobby Brown just needs to sit his old junkie ass down somewhere. He was a problem for the group when they were young and he’s still a problem to this day. Just let it go bruh
Wow junkie hope u don’t have kids that end up doing drugs idiot.
Fuck everyone that has something negative to say…about Bobby Brown half of you bitches would kill yourselves if you went through half of what he went through ..so in case you didn’t here me fuck everyone who had some slick shit to say you broke mfuckas…

I’m so glad to Catch ,Cincinnati show, ,would of been Major Disappointment without the Bad Boy.NE kicked Bobby out the group he started,
And became bigger than any individual ,.Hell he had his Own Movie,Married THEE STAR of Song, F All U Jealous M.F.
Just seen him in concert New Edition Legacy Tour -Detroit and he barely dance there were female dancers to re place him. He would only sing and spin around to head side-stage
Bobby need to set his own ass down somewhere we taking up the other people’s time he had his when he was using sleeping on couches they even got clean supposedly and everybody’s oh Bobby oh Bobby Bobby don’t give a fuck about you and none of your mother rappers he got your money showing you your money on the next because they driving and I’m not a hater unless you talking about hating all the fake y’all out just to get your money and move the hell away from y’all as fast as they can get and it’s far and when they start getting broke or should I say enormously yeah the closer they come to being back regular after having wealth then they want to be back black again don’t know you when they got money none of them where is our Black Hospital gas stations stores disability centers mental health facilities with all our being is black now one time to now one of these things I’ve mentioned that’s a damn shame we had nothing but talking the 60s to work with we got billions now don’t do a damn thing something’s wrong w
The touring was just too much for Bobby. I applaud his for putting his health first. Possibly he could handle solo performances easily.
I agree health is important however, he knows his body better than anyone else; with that being said he should not be on stage with the group, they are all within a year or two in age range of each other. As far as I know none of them has had it easy; yet they perform as In their 20’s. Having a bad life that he created is no excuse. If his health is a problem he needs to stay off the stage, I’m sure his fans will understand.

When you are a singing entertainer and have been dancing your whole career it catches up with you give the man a break love Bobby Brown
Love Bobby Brown and did a great job on the Culture Tour in Cali last year. Praying for Bobby’s health cause he has endured a lot. NE Fo Life
Get some rest BOBBY
B. Brown,
Your health is your wealth!
Disregard all the naysayers and haters. It takes a wise man to put his health first. We’ll be here when you return. May God bless you and NE during this Holy Week and beyond.
I love you Bobby Brown. Continue to listen to your body. Your body knows what’s best for you. My prayers are always with and for you. May the blessings of the Lord rest upon you and your family
What goes on Bobby🤦🏽♀️
I think it’s a good idea that Bobby Brown is going to take the rest of the tour off. He needs to lose some weight get plenty of vitamins, rest and he’ll be back because he is Bobby Brown.
I SO ENJOYED HIS AND HIS BAND MATES PREFORMANCE IN NEW ORLEANS 3/31/23, I COULDN’T STAY IN MY SEAT….. ALWAYS CHOOSE YOUR HEALTH FIRST
Honestly, to jump on this tour so quickly after the culture tour left me puzzled, it’s not just Bobby who was exhausted , when I saw this current tour, all the fellows looked burnt out, sluggish & over weight. All of them need to rest a little longer, not just Bobby, at least Bobby is listening to his body, and that’s what is most important, his health! The other fellows are not at 100% either. But to be in their 50’s & still performing on this type of level is outstanding. Leave Bobby alone, he is a human being just like us!
