UPDATE: Blood Clots Found Near Heart of Grammy-Winning Singer


Grammy-winning singer Tori Kelly, 30, was rushed to the hospital after reportedly passing out while having dinner with friends in downtown Los Angeles Sunday night.

Grammy-Winning Singer Hospitalized With Blood Clots

Sources told TMZ Kelly passed out “for a while” and her heart was beating very fast.

After rushing Kelly to the ICU, doctors found blood clots in her legs and lungs.

TMZ reported:

Our sources say Tori’s friends wanted to make sure she wasn’t taken to a hospital downtown, and instead taken to Cedars-Sinai — one of the country’s premiere hospitals — so they carried her outside, loaded her in a vehicle and sped to the hospital instead of calling an ambulance.

We’re told Tori’s getting care in the ICU, doctors have discovered clots in Tori’s legs and her lungs … and are still working to determine if any clots are around her heart. The singer’s been in and out of consciousness during her hospitalization.

Tori’s been in the biz for a lot of years — both as a singer and a songwriter — she took home Grammys in 2019 for Best Gospel Album and Best Gospel Performance/Song and won the Billboard Women in Music Breakthrough Artist Award in 2015.

The situation reportedly is “really serious,” according to a source who spoke with the outlet.

Tori Kelly says her alarming medical emergency -- passing out in a restaurant and discovering potentially life-threatening blood clots -- left her scared and heartbroken.

The singer gave an update to her fans Thursday morning, jumping on X to say the past few days have been tough, but also saying she's feeling a lot stronger and hopeful.

Tori goes on to say, "There are still some things to uncover." The 30-year-old singer is referring to the blood clots in her legs and near her lungs.

We're told doctors also discovered some clots near her heart ... and, as a result, she remains in the hospital while doctors try to figure out what caused them and how to prevent them in the future.
