Summer Walker Has Bronchitis, Using Herbs & Tea After Refusing Medical Treatment

Summer Walker Continues Tour Despite Being Diagnosed With Bronchitis

Summer Walker has revealed that she has caught bronchitis during her performance Down Under, but that didn’t stop her from getting the fans entertained. The singer is currently overseas as the headliner for Australia and New Zealand’s first-ever R&B and Soul music festival, Souled Out.

In a video obtained by TMZ on Friday, March 29, the 27-year-old told the crowd that she was diagnosed with bronchitis, but she wasn’t going to let her fans down.

“First of all, y’all are out here in the rain and I appreciate it. I love y’all so much,” she said in the video, dressing in a sizzling pink dress. “I just wanted to say your girl got bronkiki, she got bronchitis,” she revealed.

“But we still gonna do it tonight. We still got fun, right? All right. Help me out. I need y’all to sing all these songs,” Summer Walker added before proceeding to sing.

According to sources close to the singer, she came down with a case of bronchitis a few days ago. Nevertheless, the singer doesn’t believe in modern medicine and has refused to get medical treatment. She, instead, has reportedly been soothing her throat with a blend of herbs and teas.

The “Girls Need Love” songstress performed with the condition during the 2nd date of the festival in Auckland, New Zealand and then the next show on Friday in Melbourne, Australia.

As a result of her illness, Summer has been on heavy vocal rest and has reduced her speaking until her shows begin.
