Singer Tori Kelly home and resting after hospitalisation for severe blood clots

R&B singer Tori Kelly is home recovering after being hospitalised after getting severe blood clots around her vital organs. Sources close to the 30-year-old singer shared that Tori was discharged from Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles and is heading back home to rest.

Doctors looking after the Should’ve Been Us singer reportedly said that they don’t know what caused the blood clots in her lungs and legs – but she is now on the road to recovery, according to TMZ. Sources tell TMZ that Tori will receive regular checkups to make sure she is healing well, but that being discharged from the ICU and hospital was a huge step in the right direction.

The Grammy award-winning singer was rushed to the hospital Sunday night after passing out during a dinner with her friends in downtown Los Angeles. Sources have claimed that at the dinner her heart started beating really fast before she fell unconscious. And rather than waiting for the ambulance to arrive, the singer was allegedly carried outside and placed in the back of a car before being rushed to Cedars-Sinai hospital.

After the hospital scare, Tori broke her silence sharing a letter to her fans which said: “Hi friends, as you may have heard, I’m dealing with some unexpected health challenges. It’s been a scary few days but I can feel your prayers and can’t stop thinking about you. I’m feeling stronger now and hopeful but unfortunately there are still some things to uncover.”

She continued: “I’m so grateful for the amazing doctors and nurses who have been looking after me. Of course I’m heartbroken about all of the things I had planned for this week of releasing my EP, but I know my health must come first.”

Tori’s husband of five years, retired basketball player André Murillo, shared that the couple are still waiting to hear back for more answers.

The soulful singer has been a famous face in the music industry for the past eight years, releasing her first album in 2015. Since then Kelly has touched the hearts of many with her beautiful R&B songwriting and performances and has been awarded two Grammies – for best Gospel album and best Gospel performance/song.

Kelly released a new EP last week, just days after the singer was hospitalised. The new album titled Tori has seven tracks and was followed by the lead single Missin U released in March. Her new album is a mix of R&B and Pop including features from famous singers Ayra Starr and Jon Bellion.
