Muni Long is opening up about a recent health scare where she had to undergo a double lung transplant after doctors told her she had one week to live.

Last fall, the Grammy-winning R&B singer was on the road as one of the opening acts on Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine” tour, but officially pulled out after a bout of pneumonia. The 37-year-old told Good Morning America that doctors then advised her that her situation was dire and that she needed surgery to survive.
