**OAKLAND, CA** – Tony! Toni! Toné! guitarist D’Wayne Wiggins is experiencing undisclosed medical complications, forcing the cancellation of upcoming concerts and prompting an outpouring of support from fellow musicians and fans. The band announced Wiggins’ illness on social media Wednesday, asking for prayers and respect for the family’s privacy during this difficult time.
At least two scheduled performances have been cancelled: a March 22nd show at the Grand Theatre Center for the Arts in Tracy, California, and a May 23rd appearance at Detroit’s Music Hall Center. While the Tracy cancellation cited illness, the reason for the Detroit cancellation remains unclear.
Fellow musicians have publicly expressed their concern and well wishes, including Sheila E. and Boots Riley, both Oakland natives, along with Karyn White and Kindred the Family Soul.
The band stated that Wiggins is “working through the complications one day at a time,” but further details regarding his condition have not been released. The Grammy-nominated R&B group is known for its smooth sound and contributions to the genre.
