Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Tori Kelly has been hospitalized and is currently receiving treatment for severe blood clots in her legs and lungs. The 30-year-old artist was taken to Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles after she passed out at a dinner with friends on Sunday night. Kelly reported feeling her heart beating fast before losing consciousness, prompting immediate medical attention. Doctors are now closely monitoring her condition and investigating the possibility of clots around her heart.
Tori Kelly, who is managed by SB Projects, recently signed with Epic Records earlier this year. She unveiled her first single with the label, titled “Missin U,” along with a Y2K-inspired music video in March. The song, which samples Craig David’s 2000 hit “Fill Me In,” marked Kelly’s return to new music since her last releases in 2019 and 2020, titled “Inspired by True Events” and “A Tori Kelly Christmas,” respectively. Her exceptional talent was recognized at the 2019 Grammys when she won Best Gospel Album for her sophomore album, “Hiding Place,” and Best Gospel Performance/Song for “Never Alone.”
