American R&B girl group TLC postpone European tour due to T-Boz's neck injury

R&B girl group, Tionne 'T-Boz' Watkins and Rozonda 'Chilli' Thomas of 'TLC', have been forced to postpone a planned month-long European tour next month due to T-Boz's back injury.

In a Facebook note to fans posted on Tuesday morning, the duo confirmed that the tour slated to kick off in Hamburg, Germany, on Oct. 16 and wrap in Birmingham, England, on Nov. 16 was being pushed back after T-Boz injured her neck during their recent North American tour.

She is now "suffering from severe physical pain that has impacted her ability to perform at this time."

According to the statement, the cervical disc problems in her spine have gotten so bad that she's having "significant pain" due to nerve compression but she's presently working with her orthopedic surgeon on the issue.
