The singer’s father, Joel Vargas, Sr., updated his daughter’s condition in a message to Tejano Nation, “Candace is home resting. She was diagnosed with a slight case of whiplash and had to have injections for pain in her neck and hip.”
Candace still performed at her scheduled concert on Saturday at Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She is also scheduled to perform at this month’s 39th annual Tejano Music Awards in San Antonio, Texas.
