Chaka Khan released a statement yesterday saying that she had entered a rehabilitation facility, and she is now revealing the reason why. Khan and her sister Yvonne Stevens have both entered rehab to deal what the singer says is a dependency on fentanyl, the same drug that killed Prince.
“The tragic death of Prince has had us both rethinking and reevaluating our lives and priorities” Khan said. “We knew it was time to take action to save our lives. My sister and I would like to thank everyone for their support, love and prayers.”
The “I Feel 4 U” singer says that she will have to cancel some concert dates as she deals with her health.
“Unfortunately, I will miss concert appearances over the summer,” she said. “However, it’s vital that I put my health and well-being first. I know that I am disappointing some of my fans, but I also know they would want me to recover and be well and healthy.”
It is not officially known yet if the cancellations will include Khan’s Dallas date, she is scheduled to perform with Maze at the Smooth R&B 105.7 ‘White Party’ on August 13th.
