Toni Braxton is back in the hospital for the second time this month.
According to a statement posted
to the Grammy Award-winning singer's Twitter account, Braxton was
hospitalized Saturday afternoon.
"Toni Braxton was hospitalized
this afternoon in Cleveland due to complications with her lupus.
Unfortunately her show tonight in Cleveland will need to be postponed,"
the statement read.
"Lupus needs to be constantly
monitored and this minor setback should not affect the rest of her
tour," the statement continued. "Tickets for tonight’s show will be
honored at the rescheduled date that will be announced shortly."
Braxton, 49, revealed in 2011 that she was living with lupus, a chronic
autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the sufferer's internal
organs, joints and skin. She also appeared on "The Dr. Oz Show" in 2013
to talk about her diagnosis.
This would mark the second time
this month that Braxton was hospitalized for lupus. Her reps told ABC
News earlier this month that she was taken to a Los Angeles hospital due
to lupus complications.
In an Oct. 4 statement about the
earlier hospital stay, her reps said: "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. She was not in serious condition, though lupus is a
serious disease and must be monitored at all times."
Braxton is on her "The Hits Tour" that kicked off Oct. 8 in Oakland,
California. The tour is scheduled to conclude Nov. 13 in Uncasville,
Connecticut.
