Upcoming concerts of Aretha Franklin have been cancelled due to the star's need to rest up.
In a statement Monday, the 74 year old singer said that "due to doctors' orders I will have to cancel a few concerts for the next month or so." The announcement includes an Aug. 26 show at the Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts near Vienna, Virginia.
Franklin is canceling two performances at New York City's Radio City Music Hall: She'll skip "Tony Bennett Celebrates 90" on Sept. 15 and a solo show on Sept. 23.
In November, the Queen of Soul said she should be back on the road. An Aretha show in Las Vegas was cancelled last year because of exhaustion.
