T-Boz Hospitalized After Sickle Cell Crisis, Misses Several TLC Tour Shows

Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins, a member of the iconic music group TLC, has been hospitalized following a sickle cell crisis, forcing her to miss several performances on the group’s ongoing “It’s Iconic” tour.

The tour features TLC alongside Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue, with performances scheduled through October 2026.

A representative for T-Boz confirmed that the singer is recovering and gradually regaining her strength following the health emergency.

T-Boz has lived with sickle cell disease since childhood and has experienced multiple hospitalizations related to the condition over the years.

While T-Boz has been unable to take the stage, TLC member Chilli (Rozonda Thomas) has continued performing. During recent shows, Chilli has also asked fans to keep T-Boz in their prayers and send her their support as she focuses on recovery.

There has been no official announcement regarding when T-Boz will return to performing. For now, the singer is concentrating on regaining her strength while her bandmates continue the tour.

Fans have continued to express their support for T-Boz, hoping to see the longtime TLC vocalist back on stage when she is healthy enough to resume performing.
