Tori Kelly Follows Up Husband's Update With Assurance To Music Fans

Tori Kelly is awake and speaking up!

The singer, whose recent medical emergency put her large fanbase on the edge of their seats with worry, has finally provided an update on her recovery progress. In case you missed it, the 30-year-old artist had reportedly fainted during a Sunday dinner with her friends in downtown Los Angeles. She was promptly rushed to Sinai-Cedar Hospital, where doctors found blood clots in her lungs and legs.

Kelly set her fans' hearts at ease when she took to Instagram an hour ago to reassure them of her well-being after days of being hospitalized. In a handwritten note signed by her, the "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back" hitmaker began:

"hi friends…as you may have heard, I'm dealing with some unexpected heath challenges. its been a scary few days but i can feel your prayers & can't stop thinking about you. I'm feeling stranger now and hopeful but unfortunately there are still some things to uncover. i'm so grateful for the amazing doctors & nurses who have been looking after me."

She informed her 4.2 million followers that even though the events she planned in anticipation of her "Tori" EP on July 28 did not manifest, she knew that her "health must come first." Despite the unfortunate circumstances, the "Dear No One" singer still wanted her supporters to "enjoy a project that represents the happy place i've been in the last few years."

Kelly concluded by assuring her fans that she had every intention to stick to the plan of releasing the project on the scheduled day, adding, "i love you all so much & i am truly overwhelmed by all of the love s care i have received, thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

Since they had been waiting for Kelly to share a real-time update, her comment section took less than 30 minutes to fill up. "tori! 😭 been so incredibly sad these past few days thinking about you. i knew you meant the world to me & this just proved it. so thankful you were able to write this but hate that you're not back to 100%," one fan penned in the comments.

Another netizen exclaimed, "Continued healing! Meanwhile, we'll run this EP all the way up!" as a third demanded, "LET'S ALL GET HER EP to #1." Notable figures were also not left out of the hype, as singer Israel Houghton typed, "Believing for you to completely recover! In the meantime, we will BUMP this EP and hopefully bring you some joy by enjoying these songs!"

Evangelical author Greg Laurie also declared, "We will keep praying for you, Tori!," and Emmy-nominated Yvette Nicole Brown reassured, "Praying for your full healing, honeybun ❤️."

Kelly's much-anticipated statement comes a few hours after her husband, André Murillo, shared a progress report via his Instagram Story. He had written in white text against a black background:

"Tori is smiling again and feeling stronger. Not out of the woods but we see the sun. Just waiting on a few more answers. Your love and kindness has been overwhelming. Thank you so so much! ❤️"

Regarding her upcoming EP, Elite Daily published an article that contained a previous interview with Kelly. Per the outlet, the "All in My Head" hitmaker addressed why she changed her hairstyle, marking a "new era" for her. In the interview which happened in May, the Grammy Award winner stated:

"When I was in the studio, I was already starting to let my roots grow out. I was like, 'I'm over this. I don't wanna dye my hair anymore. I think it's just time for a change.' It just made sense to not dye my hair. It just felt right. This look is both very natural and a progression of me figuring out what I love."

This artistic progression is also evident in her forthcoming project, comprising seven songs, including the popular March-released single "Missin' U." Through this song, Kelly effortlessly blends pop and R&B, showcasing her powerful and melodious voice.

Other songs featured on the "Tori" EP are "Cut," "Shelter," "Unbelievable" featuring Nigerian singer Arya Starr, "Alive If I Die," "Young Gun" featuring singer and producer Bellion, and a special "Missin' U [R&B Edit]" version. Each song contributes to Kelly's unique artistic journey, and fans are absolutely here for it.
