Brandy And Monica’s Concert In Chicago Ends Abruptly

Brandy and Monica ran into some issues during a recent tour stop in Chicago on Saturday (Oct.18), where fans claim the show ended without warning. Footage has circulated on social media from the pair’s concert, where Brandy is spotted performing hit 1994 hit track, “Baby.” However, mid-performance, she began experiencing audio issues and quickly exited stage left.

Before heading offstage, she told the crowd, “Give me one second, y’all, I gotta get my…” and then her microphone cut off. However, Brandy never returned to the stage. According to fan reports, Monica was left to perform the rest of the setlist by herself. Unfortunately, due to Brandy’s absence, the pair was not able to perform their tour’s namesake and 1998 hit single, “The Boy Is Mine.”

Monica Faced Paralysis In Vocal Chord Just Weeks Before ‘Boy Is Mine’ Tour

In other news, Monica recently revealed she faced a frightening diagnosis just two weeks before the tour kicked off. According to an Instagram Live from the singer’s account obtained by TheShadeRoom, Monica was diagnosed with temporary paralysis in her right vocal chord. That said, she took things in stride and was proud that she was to “get the songs out” without missing a beat.

“I thank God for where I am because we found out what…two weeks before tour, that my right chord has temporary paralysis,” she said, looking to Brandy, who had joined her on the live. Brandy added that she couldn’t even begin to understand what Monica was “going through vocally.” According to MayoClinic, Vocal Chord Paralysis is “a condition that causes the loss of control of the muscles that control the voice. It happens when the nerve impulses to the voice box, also called the larynx, are disrupted. This results in paralysis of the vocal cord muscles.”
