JoJo Takes A Scary Spill

Jodeci (err, K-Ci and JoJo) performs in Sydney…to a host of boos

During a sold-out show at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre over the weekend, Jodeci member JoJo collapsed onstage while his brother K-Ci continued to serenade the crowd. Whether the fall was real or fake, the crowd allegedly took it seriously enough to boo the legendary group, and allegedly throw bottles.

The show was ticketed as a Jodeci show, but Jodeci’s founder, lead songwriter, and producer, DeVante Swing, and his younger brother Mr. Dalvin, were both missing.  When K-Ci and JoJo came out to perform, they were rumored to have snuffed their other band mates by saying they "are the voices of Jodeci and therefore are Jodeci."

The two then allegedly went on to perform their own catalog of hits, and only about four Jodeci songs. JoJo suddenly fell during a performance of “All My Life.” As the crowd gasped, K-Ci kept the song going, before a bulky man came from backstage to help the stocky singer off the floor.

According to Perez Hilton, “[K-Ci] told the audience that they were tired after their 24-hour flight and that JoJo had gotten dizzy."

The group has been rumored to have a reunion in place for a while, but no word on an official album release date has surfaced.

"It's the Jodeci sound, but ... If you heard our second and the last half of Hotel, it's like the bridge between the second and third albums. There's 17 cuts — it's a double CD,” JoJo told MTV in 2006 about the album yet to surface.
