Brandy abruptly ends concert mid-performance due to dehydration
Brandy walked off the stage Saturday during the Chicago stop of "The Boy is Mine" tour due to health issues.
In videos shared on social media, Brandy told the crowd at the United Center that she needed a minute offstage, but never returned to sing as part of her co-headlining tour with fellow R&B singer Monica.
On Sunday, the "Have You Ever" singer revealed she was suffering from dehydration and fatigue on stage, and apologized for ending the show so suddenly.
