Lupus forces singer Toni Braxton into LA hospital

(AP) Singer Toni Braxton has been hospitalized in Los Angeles.

The R&B performer says in a Tweet on Friday that she's been hospitalized because of minor health issues related to Lupus. A spokeswoman confirmed the hospitalization but had no other details. But no worries!, Braxton wrote to fans. I will be out any day now.

The 45-year-old singer of Un-break My Heart revealed two years ago she has Lupus, a potentially deadly autoimmune disease that killed Braxton's uncle. She also suffers from a narrowing of the blood vessels in her heart.

Braxton said in a recent 20/20 interview that doctors told her the Lupus diagnosis meant her performing career would likely be diminished and the disease helped push her into a recent bankruptcy.
