Aretha Franklin Forced to Cancel Shows, Doctor's Orders
Doctors are telling Aretha Franklin to give her body some respect and to rest a little bit. The 74-year-old soul singer has canceled five shows to do just that.
"Due to doctors' orders I will have to cancel a few concerts for the next month or so," Franklin said in a statement.
Those five shows include two shows at Radio City Music Hall — one was a Tony Bennett birthday show and another was a solo gig. Shows in Vienna, Virginia, Detroit and St. Louis have been taken off her schedule as well.
Her next scheduled show will be on Nov. 11 in Welch, Minnesota.
