He continued, "She is in intensive care. As soon as I receive more information, I will post it here. Let’s pray that Connie will be okay."

Shortly after Cousin Brucie's statement, Connie released her own on Facebook. "Hello Everyone — As many of you may now have learned through Cousin Brucie's Facebook page, I am back in hospital where I have been undergoing tests and checks to determine the cause(s) of the extreme pain I have been experiencing," she wrote.

Connie continued, "I had hoped to take part in Brucie's show for Independence Day, having had to cancel a previous slot a few weeks ago when receiving treatment on my hip. Sadly, I had to let him know that I again had to withdraw."

She then thanked fans for their support and promised to keep them updated.

In a follow-up post, the musician said, "I am pleased to advise that following a series of tests and examinations in Intensive Care, I have now been transferred to a private room. Thank you all for your kind thoughts, words and prayers. They mean so much! Love, Connie."
