TLC have been forced to postpone a handful of their forthcoming tour dates in Canada amid T-Boz falling ill with the flu.
The announcement was made via the group’s official Instagram page on Monday (May 13), which revealed that not only T-Boz but multiple people on the tour had come down with the virus.

“We deeply regret to inform you that we must cancel the upcoming dates,” they wrote. “Unfortunately, a few members of our tour, including T-Boz, have fallen ill with the flu. As a result, she has lost her voice. Doctors have advised her not to perform this week.
“We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Your support means the world to us, and we look forward to the opportunity to perform for you in the near future. We love you and will see you soon.”

Back in 2021, TLC were forced to postpone a show in Houston, Texas after T-Boz suffered an allergic reaction.
“Due to extreme cigarette and recreational smoke being present backstage at a previous show, T-Boz suffered an allergic reaction,” their announcement read.

“The group has always enforced a strict no smoking policy at their shows in an effort to prevent any health related issues for the group and/or crew.”
Diagnosed with sickle cell anemia as a child, T-Boz has battled the autoimmune disease throughout her career. In a 2020 interview with HipHopDX, she spoke about how CBD has aided her treatment.
“Before I started taking CBD, you can go back through our history and they would tell you, ‘T-Boz is sick, T-Boz has ruined another tour,’” she said. “It’s not a cure but since being on it, I don’t get sick as often. I’m way stronger and when I do get sick, it’s not as bad or for as long.
“On this last tour, I broke my rib and I was able to still perform with a broken rib. A long time ago, that would have sent me into a sickle cell crisis.

“Because I was on CBD, I was able to go to the hospital for one day, get fluids for the pain and some lidocaine patches and take some CBD cream, bomb and tincture, and I made it through. I didn’t ruin the tour. This is the third tour I’ve been on that I haven’t gotten sick or had to cancel.”
