R.Kelly Has Complications From His Last Year’s Surgery

R.Kelly was supposed to have a busy day yesterday. Besides launching his book “Soulacoaster” in NYC and appearing on Today’s and Jimmy Fallon Shows, the singer had to be hospitalized due to an emergency in Chicago. The rep for R.Kelly issued the following statement:

“The book launch is postponed due to a health emergency that has sidelined Mr. Kelly in Chicago. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this has caused. Initial indications are that he is suffering from complications from surgery he had last year to treat an abscess on his vocal chords. It is unclear how long Kelly may be sidelined.”

Hopefully, R.Kelly will fully recover pretty soon.
