Monica Morgan/Getty ImagesAretha Franklin has canceled her concert at the TD Toronto Jazz Festival scheduled for this Saturday, July 1, at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts because of unspecified health reasons. According to a message posted on the festival’s website, the Queen of Soul is unable to travel to Toronto this week, “as per doctor’s orders.”
There is some good news, however: Franklin has confirmed that she’ll perform at next year’s Toronto Jazz Festival on June 28. Fans who purchased tickets for the July 1 show via Ticketmaster or at the Sony Centre box office will have the choice to hold onto their ticket and use it for next year’s show, or receive a full refund.
Aretha does have a few other confirmed concerts on her 2017 itinerary, which is mapped out from a July 29 performance in Vienna, Virginia, through a September 16 show in Durant, Oklahoma.
Here are all of Aretha’s forthcoming 2017 gigs, according to her official Facebook page:
