Aubrey O’Day said she was forced to miss the second stop on Danity Kane’s comeback tour after being taken to the hospital.
“My loves… I am so sorry. I’ve become extremely sick and physically can’t make tonight’s show as I’m in the ER,” O’Day, 41, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, December 10, referring to the band’s scheduled performance at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles.
O’Day continued, “I’ve been fighting it all day, spinning around in my head trying to find any way to make this work, but being sick is being sick — it’s completely out of my control.”
“My heart is broken because I never want to let you down,” O’Day added.
“I know the girls will give you an incredible performance tonight, and I promise I’ll be back with you the second my body lets me,” she concluded.
Per footage posted on social media, the second stop on Danity Kane’s The Untold Chapter Tour went ahead as planned without O’Day as Aundrea Fimbres and D. Woods performed as a duo.
The former five-piece girl band recently reunited as a trio, performing their first show together in several years on Tuesday, December 9, at August Hall in San Francisco, where O’Day, Fimbres and Woods performed songs including “Damaged,” “Show Stopper” and “Heartbreaker.”
The group announced their comeback tour via Instagram in October, though there remained an air of mystery about who’d complete the lineup until Tuesday’s show.
“The world has heard the music. The world has seen the headlines. But the truth… has never been told,” read an October Instagram post on the band’s account.
“Now, in a moment that no one saw coming, three voices from one of the most iconic girl groups of the 21st century are stepping back onto the stage together. Which three? That’s the mystery. And it’s part of the fire that has fans and critics buzzing: who will it be, and what will they reveal?” the post continued.
“The Untold Chapter Tour isn’t just a concert. It’s a reckoning. It’s the truth behind the story. It’s the reunion that no one thought possible,” the post added. “With set lists reshaped, confessions revealed and moments that will never happen the same way twice, this tour promises to leave audiences shaken, inspired and forever changed.”
Danity Kane was originally formed by disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs on MTV’s Making the Band 3. O’Day, Fimbres and Woods were joined by Dawn Richard and Shannon Bex in the original lineup.
Danity Kane enjoyed immense chart success, with two No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
O’Day recently appeared in 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary on Netflix, in which she addressed claims by another woman that she was sexually assaulted by Diddy.
In the doc, the singer read out an affidavit by a woman who alleged she witnessed Diddy and another man assault O’Day in 2005. (Diddy has denied all allegations against him.)
“Even after I told her I didn’t have a recollection of this, I said, ‘Could she be making a mistake?’ I asked in every way I possibly could think of, [and] she was certain,” O’Day said in the doc. “Does this mean I was raped? Is that what this means? I don’t even know if I was raped, and I don’t want to know. I don’t want to find out anymore what that woman has to say.”
