Only a few days before this incident, Tamar told her fans that she missed being on stage and wanted to tour after the release of her new album.
This is also not the first time the 48-year-old has suffered a medical emergency in recent years.
In December 2022, she was rushed to the hospital after struggling to breathe and was diagnosed with a bad case of the flu "worse than COVID".
Hopefully, the singer will make a full recovery and be able to continue her latest musical journey.
