Brandy mentioned that although she attempted to continue performing by making adjustments, it proved too challenging to maintain a seamless connection with the show’s production.

Expressing her gratitude, she thanked Monica and the concert team for carrying on with the event, saying, “I am incredibly thankful to my sister, Monica, for handling everything with such grace and professionalism, and to the entire crew for their unwavering support and care.”

After consulting a doctor on Saturday evening, Brandy assured fans that she would take necessary precautions moving forward. She is scheduled to resume her tour with a performance in Indianapolis on Sunday night.

Brandy’s full statement:
“To my Dear Fans in Chicago,

Thank you all for the overwhelming love, support, and-most importantly-your prayers.

I sincerely apologize for the abrupt end to last night’s performance in Chicago. After 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.

I 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’s best efforts.

I’m deeply grateful to my sister, Monica, for stepping up with such grace and professionalism and the entire crew for their continued care and support.

I 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.

I look forward to returning to the stage-stronger and more grateful than ever-alongside my girl, Monica, tonight in Indianapolis.

With all my love,

Brandy”
