After being hospitalized earlier in the season, Tamar Braxton has confirmed that she is bowing out of Dancing With the Stars on account of health complications.

The R&B singer announced that due to blood clots in both her lungs, she will be dropping out of the remaining season as well as canceling her guest appearances on tour with singer KEM.

Braxton posted a photo to Instagram of herself with partner Val Chmerkovskiy to announce that she is leaving the competition.

"With a Heavy heart I regret to inform you that my season of #dwts has to come to an end along with the rest of my tour dates with @musicbykem," she wrote.

With a Heavy heart I regret to inform you that my season of #dwts has to come to an end along with the rest of my tour dates with @musicbykem. After yesterday's final #dwts performance I went back to the hospital (after the doctors didn't want me to leave in the first place) only to find out that I don't have pneumonia but something way more serious and that is having several P.E.'s (blood clots in both sides of my lungs) As you all know I will be the first to always encourage anyone to push through any obstacle that comes along one's way. But in this case, my health is my current obstacle. .. And in TRUE #tamartian form I must go about this the exact same way as I would anything else. I woke up to a mirror and saw myself this morning and that makes me the winner because that almost wasn't the case. Take care of yourselves... I love you and thank you ALL for your support❤️ p.s. Big hugs and kisses to my boo @iamvalc for being beyond a friend, brother and the BEST partner EVER A photo posted by To (@tamarbraxtonher) on Nov 10, 2015 at 11:25pm PST

Braxton had previously been hospitalized during dress rehearsal for Monday's show, but was not eliminated because she made a triumphant return 20 minutes before the end of the show to dance alongside Nick Carter.

However, she revealed Wednesday that she has been diagnosed with pulmonary embolism, ruling out the possibility for another return.

Chmerkovskiy came to her support, posting another photo of the pair on Instagram.
