Chrisette Michele Hospitalized; Cancels Appearances!

Last night, Grammy Award-winning singer Chrisette Michele was forced to cancel a scheduled show in New York after being rushed to the hospital with a ruptured appendix.

During her hospitalization, she posted a special message to fans on Instagram expressing how upset she was that she had to cancel the show. “I hate that I can’t perform tonight … but I have no choice. I love you NYC. I swear. Xo,” she wrote, along with posting this photo.

Still, the singer seemed adamant about not canceling a Wednesday appearance at “Curl Power Celebration,” a natural hair event with hair blogger, Curly Nikki. “I told the doctor I’m NOT missing that! Even if I’m in a wheelchair!” Chrisette posted online. But according to Nikki’s tweets, Chrisette has canceled:

NYC Update: Due to medical reasons, the #curlyhomie Chrisette Michele will be unable to attend tonight. Please pray for her and the fam.

Hospitalization for a ruptured appendix typically range from a few hours to a few days, but can be a few weeks if complications occur. The recovery process may vary depending on the severity of the condition, but ranges from about four to six weeks.
