Tones and I revealed that she suffered an onstage miscarriage just hours before the biggest show of her career.
In a heartbreaking Instagram post on Tuesday, the Dance Monkey hitmaker shared incredibly personal details of the loss that happened ahead of her Melbourne show on November 9.
Tones, whose real name is Toni Watson, said the tragedy occurred on stage during the final dress rehearsals of her show, in front of “30 choir, 30 dancers and 50 crew.”
‘I was at the point in the show where I just hit the big note in ‘to be love’, the first song from my latest album, when I hit the big note I felt the blood rushing down my legs, usually an uncomfortable but manageable situation especially since this was a rehearsal and not a show, except… I was nine weeks pregnant,” she wrote.
‘I was almost 100% sure I was having a miscarriage the night before the biggest show of my career.
‘[Husband] Jimmy [Bedford] and I left rehearsals and we got to the hospital at 8:30 p.m. The pain started to kick in and after not sleeping that night I was told I was having a miscarriage.

‘I was told around 11am on the day of the show that the show would not be possible and that I would have to stay indoors and rest. I will in no way tolerate going against the doctor’s advice, but I would be lying if I did’ I don’t go straight to the creative team, the production crew, the dancers, the choir, the FANS.
‘I knew I couldn’t possibly let everyone down. So I promised I would come back and I left. I arrive at Rod Laver just in time for my meet & greets and the end of the sound check and the show.
‘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 on and off stage by my family who knew nothing, I told three people that evening and let everyone else’s energy carry me through this moment, while I also don’t want to let this show pass me by.’
She then revealed that she received further medical care after the show.
‘After the show I went back to the hospital where the surgery was completed the next morning.’
Tones and I surprised fans when she announced last March that she had married Bedford in a secret ceremony in Bali.
“Well, we weren’t planning on spreading the news until after the single came out, but I MARRIED my best friend!” she wrote on Instagram at the time.
Tones posted a photo of herself looking glamorous in a long silk dress as she posed next to her new husband.
