*Legendary R&B singer Gladys Knight had to cancel her performance in Florida on Saturday night after falling ill backstage.
According to TMZ, the 80-year-old music icon was battling the flu before the show and received medical treatment in Florida. She was released later that night.
Knight later took to social media to update her fans, reassuring them that she was “already feeling much better.” She explained that she had caught “that flu that is going around” but is on the mend.
“I’ll see everyone real soon and appreciate the good wishes,” she wrote.
“Tonight’s performance by Gladys Knight was cancelled due to illness,” a Florida Theater statement said. “Ms Knight and another member of her staff were taken ill backstage, very suddenly, and at the last minute, which necessitated the sudden cancellation of the show. We hope to reschedule the show, but it’s too early to know about that… we should know more early next week.“
