'This is just a condition that I live with': Toni Braxton vows to finish her concert tour after cancelling dates over lupus scare

Toni Braxton fans can breathe again.

The 48-year-old has vowed to continue with her concert tour after cancelling dates due to her lupus scare. 

The singer was hospitalized this week suffering from symptoms triggered by the autoimmune disease, and was forced to postpone two upcoming shows in California.

But she confirmed in a statement to E! News that she plans to get back on the road for her October 12 show in Detroit.  

'I am so excited about going back on the road and seeing all of my wonderful fans and friends,' she said.

'Everyone's life is complicated and this is just a condition that I live with.' 

The singer's spokesperson had previously confirmed she was okay, after being struck down by the illness.

'Toni is resting at home and she is fine. She was in an L.A. hospital for a few days, being treated for her Lupus,' they said after the news broke.

'She has been released and starts rehearsals for her upcoming tour this week.'

And despite the potentially dangerous situation, her representative stressed she treated in a timely fashion.

They said: 'She was not in serious condition, though Lupus is a serious disease and must be monitored at all times." 

Fans became concerned when her sister Tamar shared an Instagram video of Toni in her hospital bed. 

After she was hospitalised her boyfriend Birdman flew in from Texas to be by her side. 

The singer and the music producer, who is estimated to be worth $150m, have been dating for several months. 

Toni revealed she was battling the autoimmune disease back in 2010.

She said: 'Some days I can't balance it all. I just have to lay in bed. Pretty much when you have lupus you feel like you have the flu every day. But some days you get through it.

'But for me, if I'm not feeling well, I tend to tell my kids, "Oh mommy's just going to relax in bed today." I kind of take it easy.'

She said the hardest part was performing, though she added, 'So often, when it's like that, it's a lot of, "You sing!" to the audience, you know. They kind of help me out a little bit without realizing it.'
