“Yesterday morning, I was laughing with a friend saying, ‘seriously though, how am I going to get through my gig in LA tomorrow night without telling the whole audience I am pregnant,” her statement read. “By yesterday afternoon, I was dreading the thought of getting through the gig without breaking down… after going for my 3rd scan and being told there was no longer a heartbeat.”
