Gladys Knight Cancels Concert Due to Illness

Legendary singer Gladys Knight, aged 80, was forced to cancel her performance at the Florida Theatre on March 8 due to a sudden illness affecting both her and a staff member. They were treated by Jacksonville Fire Rescue before Knight was taken to a hospital. She later assured fans on Instagram that she had contracted the flu and was already feeling better, thanking them for their well-wishes. Theatre officials have not yet confirmed if or when the show will be rescheduled, but promised ticket holders will receive refunds if the event does not proceed. Knight, known for hits like 'Midnight Train to Georgia', is resting at her home in North Carolina and has expressed her intention to return to the stage soon. Fans and fellow artists, including Jermaine Dupri and Sheila E, have extended their support and good wishes to the celebrated singer.
