Aretha Franklin is cancelling some upcoming concerts to rest up.
The 74-year-old singer said in a statement on Monday that “due to doctors’ orders I will have to cancel a few concerts for the next month or so,” including an August 26 show at the Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts near Vienna, Virginia.
Franklin is cancelling two performances at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall: She’ll skip 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. She cancelled a show in Las Vegas last year because of exhaustion.
