With having to make some adjustments and the show being very technical, unfortunately, it was impossible to fully connect sonically with the production, I really appreciate everyone’s best efforts.”</p><p>Brandy also expressed gratitude to Monica “for stepping up with such grace and professionalism and the entire crew for their continued care and support.”</p><p>After seeing a doctor and taking “the proper precautions to help moving forward,” Brandy made her return to the stage for their show Sunday at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.</p><p>Copyright © 2025, ABC Audio.
