Australian music star Tones And I has shared she suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage the day before her recent Melbourne concert, while rehearsing on stage.

The talented musician, whose real name is Toni Watson, revealed just hours before the ‘biggest show’ of her career so far, she realised something was wrong.

“I was in rehearsals with 30 choir, 30 dancers and 50 crew, our final dress rehearsals after years of dreaming and months of organising, I was at the point of the show where I just hit the big note in “To Be Loved” the first song off my latest album, as I hit the big note I felt blood running down my legs, usually an awkward but manageable situation especially since this was a rehearsal and not a show, except … I was 9 weeks pregnant,” she explained in an Instagram post.

“It was definitely something I wasn’t planning on telling people and I was completely prepared to resort back to the baggy jumpers and pants I once was known for. But here I was almost 100% I was having a miscarriage the night before the biggest show of my career.”

Tones and her husband Jimmy left the rehearsal and headed to hospital.

“The pain started to kick in and after not sleeping that night I was told I was having a miscarriage.”

She was advised to cancel the Rod Laver Arena show.

“I was told around 11am the day of the show that the show would not be possible and I would have to stay in and rest and I am not condoning going against doctors advice by any means but I’d be lying if my mind didn’t instantly go to the creative team, the production crew, the dancers, the choir, the FANS.

“I knew there was no way I could let everyone down. So I promised that I would be back and I left, I arrive at Rod Laver just in time for my meet and greets and the end of sound check and the show. Off stage felt like a blur but as soon as I stepped on stage, I felt carried, it was unlike any show I have ever performed, I was lifted by my family on and off stage who knew nothing, I told three people that night and let the energy of everyone else carry me through this moment whilst also not wanting to let this show pass me by.”

Tones and her team performed an incredible show, with 22 songs and an energy-packed concert.

“I wanted it to be a night I would never forget. I have to say thank you to my team and my family for lifting me through what was truly one of my biggest triumphs and my saddest moments. After the show I went back to the hospital where the next morning the surgery was completed. I am not a sharer and it’s scary to even write these words. I just want to say thank you. So much. To everyone that was there with me that night.”
