Brown exits New Edition tour to focus on health

Los Angeles - Bobby Brown is leaving a reunion tour with the group New Edition to focus on his health.

A spokesperson for the R&B group said group members Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe, Johnny Gill and Ralph Tresvant wish the 45-year-old singer a speedy recovery. No other details were provided.

"At this time, Bobby needs to put his health first," said the statement. "We are giving each and every show all we've got until his return — and will continue giving the fans 110 percent each night."

Brown was seen struggling to keep up with fellow New Edition members during a dance routine before leaving the stage in a video posted online of the group's 2 July show in Mississippi.

The other New Edition members will continue for the remaining 16 shows of the All Six reunion tour.
