Monica had a rough end to her latest live show in Houston, where she appeared to be carried out on a stretcher.
The “Angel of Mine” singer was performing the song in Houston on Saturday, Dec. 30, where minutes later, she was seen passed out on the side of the stage, TMZ reports. A crew member can be seen carrying the singer off the stage.
One Twitter user shared a video from the live show with reports of Monica, 43, being carried out by an ambulance.
“They say she came out late; 10:35 and people were walking out by 11:05… concertgoers do say something seemed off,” they wrote.
The Houston streets are talking! They’re saying Monica left in an ambulance after passing out by the stairs.

Fans expressed their concerns for Monica’s health in the comments section, as the singer isn’t known not to complete a live show.
“I hope it’s just exhaustion and she just needs rest smh praying for Monica 🙏🏾💕,” one person wrote.
“Praying for her! I remember her talking about her health issues in her TV show,” added someone else.
Monica has been open about her health conditions. In 2016, she spoke with the Huffington Post about her mitral valve prolapse diagnosis at age 18. The condition results in the flap that separates the upper and lower chambers of the heart not closing properly.
The singer happened to be singing the same song, “Angel of Mine,” in Washington, D.C., when she started to lose consciousness.
“Everything in front of me basically began to go from color to black-and-white, fading in and out,” she said at the time. “I walked to the side of the stage to ask for help and collapsed into one of our staff people’s arms.”
The “Boy Is Mine” singer has also been hospitalized for high blood pressure, a condition that she works to try to control, and she has received multiple surgeries for endometriosis.
