Toni Braxton -- Un-break My Heart Attack?

Posted Apr 8th 2008 12:03PM by TMZ Staff

Singer Toni Braxton has been admitted to a Vegas hospital -- breathe again!

We hear Braxton was admitted to St. Rose Dominican Hospital late last night after her show at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino. FOX 5 in Vegas reports the diva is in good condition.

A spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, Braxton suffers from pericarditis, an inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart. She learned she had the condition after the birth of her second son.

Braxton has been headlining a Las Vegas show at the hotel since 2006. Tomorrow's show could be canceled, but that won't be confirmed until this afternoon. Today was a scheduled off day.

UPDATE: A spokesperson for the Flamingo tells TMZ that Toni had been experiencing chest pains and was taken to a local hospital for tests. She's since been released. They're hoping she'll be back on stage by the end of the week. She bettah work!

17. First it was the former AI kid whose mother passed away, and now this. I truly feel TMZ's quick humor is priceless on this site most times, thus the reason why I check it out on a daily basis. But lately, you guys have gone too far and in this case, just simply isn't funny. If you don't know the difference by now or at least have someone look this stuff over before publishing, then your "ethics" are extremely disturbing. Very disappointed.

22. Hey TMZ would you do all of us a favor and give us health updates on your staff so that when one of you die or get hit by a car for stalking someone we can make fun of you? Just asking if thats at all possible. Maybe we cat start a poll on whos gonna go first.

23. We get it .... "Unbreak My Heart" .... number 1 hit for Toni Braxton. Clever play on words but tasteless.

24. Very tasteless article. I usually get your humor and even find it funny at times but a person's heart condition is nothing to joke about! Except for #13, I agree with all of you. As for #13, be careful what you are saying that God is doing before he decides to pay you a visit.

29. Another stupid bitch who thinks she invented autism. She cries on stage because she's unhappy with her child. Nice way for that kid to grow up.

I love Toni
She is a very talented artist.
I have all her albums
