R. Kelly has a new pretty good album, Write Me Back, released last Tuesday, and a new memoir, Soulacoaster, about to drop. But he won't be doing ANY publicity. Because the man is ill again.
The Black Healthzone report that Kelly has cancelled an appearance on Fallon, indeed, has cancelled everything anywhere. All public appearances everywhere. Kelly's publicist has released the following statement:
"“While on his way to New York this morning to celebrate the publication of his long-awaited memoir SoulaCoaster, multi-platinum R&B superstar R. Kelly was taken ill and had to return to Chicago for medical treatment.
"Initial indications are that he is suffering from complications from surgery he had last year to treat an abscess on his vocal cords… It is unclear how long Kelly may be sidelined. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.”
