Tones and I has taken a moment to thank fans after previously sharing the devastating news of her on-stage miscarriage.
The Aussie singer shared on Wednesday that she had been through a miscarriage during rehearsals for the biggest show of her career, reflecting on the experience in the caption of a video of the concert, which was held on November 9 in Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena.
Now, she has shared a cute video with her husband footballer Jimmy Bedford, posing with him in the video set to the tune of Grover Washington, Jr’s Just the Two of Us.

Two days ago, the singer – whose real name is Toni Watson – shared that the day before her biggest show, she was in dress rehearsals with 30 choir members, 30 dancers and 50 crew members, which had culminated “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,” she wrote.
She left for hospital with Bedford after the rehearsal, where it was confirmed she was miscarrying.
The next morning, on the day of the show, she was told by doctors to cancel the show and rest, but she couldn’t help but think of the colossal effort behind it.

“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,” she said, “I knew there was no way I could let everyone down. So I promised that I would be back and I left.
“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. I wanted it to be a night I would never forget.”
She thanked her team and family for supporting her through “what was truly one of my biggest triumphs and my saddest moments.”
