T-Boz Missed TLC Show at Fontainebleau Las Vegas
The singer remains sidelined from the tour as she recovers from a health crisis.
Updated on Oct. 10, 2026 in Casino
Fans who caught the recent TLC performance at Fontainebleau Las Vegas saw Chilli take the stage alone. The change came as T-Boz, 56, recovers from a hospital stay prompted by a sickle cell crisis.
Why it matters
T-Boz has managed sickle cell anemia since birth, a condition that previously defied medical predictions that she would not survive past age 30. Her absence from the resort corridor tour dates highlights the ongoing challenges of the lifelong health condition.
The singer is 56, far exceeding the age of 30 that doctors once predicted for her life expectancy. While T-Boz recuperates from her latest crisis, the exact timing of her return to the stage remains unknown.
