The Oct. 18 show came to an abrupt end shortly after Brandy left her set early.<\/p>\n According to TMZ<\/em>, Brandy told the crowd \u201cGive me one second, y\u2019all, I gotta get my\u2026,\u201d stopping mid-sentence<\/a> as she went backstage. While Monica came back to perform a rushed version of her own set, the concert immediately ended after with no explanation.<\/p>\n Now, Brandy is setting the record straight on how her health and sound production played a role in the faulty show. After attendees began to complain on social media, the \u201cAlmost Doesn\u2019t Count\u201d singer addressed the concerns of her \u201cDear Fans in Chicago\u201d in a social media post. <\/p>\n \u201cI sincerely apologize for the abrupt end to last night\u2019s performance in Chicago,\u201d the 46-year-old began.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter weeks of nonstop rehearsals, last night I experienced dehydration and feelings of wanting to faint, everyone involved agreed that prioritizing my well-being was of the utmost importance.\u201d<\/p>\n While she tried to make a comeback to close out the show, she said production quality would have lessened her performance. The mix of issues led her to ending her time on stage for the tour stop.<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cI still made the decision to try and return and give it my all despite not feeling OK. With having to make some adjustments and the show being very technical, unfortunately, it was impossible to fully connect sonically with the production. I really appreciate everyone\u2019s best efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n Brandy embarked on her first in the U.S. concerts since her Human World<\/em> Tour in 2009. This time, she partnered with frequent collaborator and fellow R&B darling, Monica, for the co-headlining tour inspired by<\/a> their Grammy-award winning song, \u201cThe Boy Is Mine.\u201d Brandy also expressed her thanks to her co-headliner for taking up the task of finishing the concert. :<\/p>\n She continued, \u201cI\u2019m deeply grateful to my sister, Monica, for stepping up with such grace and professionalism and the entire crew for their continued care and support.\u201d<\/p>\n While some fans expressed concerns over Brandy\u2019s ability to continue the tour, especially considering Chicago was only the third stop, the Grammy winner assured worried ticket-holders that the show must go on.<\/p>\n \u201cI went from the arena to see a doctor nearby and have taken the proper precautions to help moving forward. Your understanding, patience, and unwavering belief mean the world to me,\u201d continued Brandy. <\/p>\n \u201cI look forward to returning to the stage \u2014 stronger and more grateful than ever \u2014 alongside my girl, Monica, Sunday night in Indianapolis.\u201d<\/p>\n RELATED CONTENT:<\/strong> Black Promoters Collective On Track To Gross Over $100M In Revenue For Live Entertainment Production<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n
