Aretha Franklin cancels shows under doctor's orders, including Radio City

Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin has unfortunately had to cancel some of her upcoming tour dates due to health issues:

“Regretfully, due to doctors’ orders I will have to cancel a few concerts for the next month or so. I’m especially disappointed because two of them are among my favorite cities, Washington D.C. and New York. I don’t want to miss any. I should continue the rest of my tour by November. I decided it was time to go home and take care of myself consistent with doctors’ orders,” -Aretha Franklin

Unfortunately those canceled dates include her big NYC show on September 23 show at Radio City Music Hall. The City Winery Open, which she was also to have played, was canceled entirely.

Rest up and feel better, Aretha.
