Brandy Explains Abrupt Exit From Chicago Show, Citing Dehydration and Technical Issues

She reports seeing a doctor with a planned return in Indianapolis as the tour remains on schedule.

Overview

  • During The Boy Is Mine tour stop at Chicago’s United Center on Oct. 18, Brandy left the stage mid-song and did not return.
  • In an Instagram statement, she said dehydration and feeling faint prompted the exit and that she could not reconnect sonically with the production to resume.
  • Monica completed the set solo, and several songs — including their 1998 hit The Boy Is Mine — went unperformed.
  • Brandy said she went from the arena to a nearby doctor and has taken precautions to recover, thanking Monica and the crew for their support.
  • Fans described confusion over the abrupt ending, some asked about refunds, and the 27-city tour is still slated to continue with Indianapolis up next.
