The 30-year-old singer gave an update Thursday on Instagram after experiencing “some unexpected health challenges.”
“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 & can’t stop thinking about you,” Kelly said in a handwritten note.
