Aretha Franklin cancelling performances to rest up
Aretha Franklin is cancelling some upcoming concerts to rest up.
The 74-year-old singer said in a statement that “due to doctors’ orders I will have to cancel a few concerts for the next month or so”.
The star is cancelling two performances at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall – she will miss Tony Bennett Celebrates 90 on September 15 and a solo show on September 23.
The Queen of Soul said she should be back on the road in November.
Aretha cancelled a show in Las Vegas last year because of exhaustion.
