Brandy abruptly leaves Chicago show, Monica ends solo

Three stops into The Boy Is Mine tour this week, fans of Brandy Norwood and Monica were left confused by the abrupt end of Saturday’s concert.
Audiences on social media complained that the show at Chicago’s United Center was allegedly cut short after Norwood abruptly left the stage at the start of the performance, leaving Monica to finish the concert solo, without access to the eponymous duet from the 1998 tour.
“Give me a second, I have to have my—,” Norwood said in a video, returning backstage after apparently struggling with sound issues, never to return. Deadline has contacted Norwood’s team for comment.

Another shared a video of the clearly frustrated audience after the lights came on. “#Brandy just threw a fit and left the stage 75% before the end of the show and #Monica had to finish the show by herself!” they wrote.
After announcing their reunion in June, Brandy and Monica’s The Boy Is Mine tour kicked off Thursday at the Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, with appearances from Kelly Rowland and Muni Long.
