Toni Braxton opens up about late sister Traci: “It’s difficult trying to live with a broken heart”

‘Unbreak My Heart’ is no doubt her signature song.

It’s a song that’s resonated with listeners worldwide, as we’ve all been through painful break-ups and pleaded for a partner to return before having to find love again.

But ‘Unbreak My Heart’ has taken on a new meaning for Toni Braxton, the voice behind the soulful ballad.

The Grammy Award-winning singer lost her younger sister Traci Braxton on 12th March 2022 at the age of just 50, after losing her private battle with cancer.

“She’s always with me. I miss her every day. I can’t even explain to you how I miss her,” she told People magazine in a new interview.

Currently in the middle of her Las Vegas residency with Cedric The Entertainer, Toni continues to think about her beloved sister and holds her memory close when she takes to the stage.

“I miss her, but I know she’s with me. I know she’s holding my hand and talking to me and giving me the courage to get up here and have a good time and entertain you guys, ’cause this is what I love doing as a performer,” she said to the audience on the night.

Toni and her other sisters Towanda, Trina, and Tamar as well as their mum Dr. Evelyn Braxton are preparing to appear in a new reality television series, aptly titled The Braxtons.
