Let's hope she's okay tho. Didn't she go to rehab or something like that? "Like books and BLACK LIVES, Albums still MATTER."

Bummer. Yes, I think I remember reading she went to rehab shortly after Prince passed. It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN | |

Some people are really touched in the head, to ask "I wonder what Prince thought of her performance... I sure he was disappointed..'? seriously? #IDEFINEME #ALBUMSSTILLMATTER

If I’m not feeling well with a heavy cold and have a bad day at the office, it’s no big deal, but sadly with umpteen thousand fans in attendance, if you are the star of the show and are not feeling your best, there is no place to hide. It’s good to read that most fans are supportive and understanding.
The last time I heard Chaka sing was at the tribute and she seemed in fine voice then. I hope Chaka is back feeling right as rain very soon.

I love Chaka but, having seen her live last year, it's a stretch to say that she's clean. | |

This is sad to hear....I sincerely hope it was due to some innocuous medication; unfortunately, as has been discussed here time and time again, addiction is a lifetime battle. It's also unfortunate that the passage of time can help ease the pain, heartache and shock of losing a loved one. She needs to be reminded of the pain, heartache and shock she (most likely) felt when given the news of Prince passing. If her "disorientation" is because of something untoward, she could unintentionally inflict this same pain, heartache and shock on her loved ones. I can't imagine she would want that.

Wow, this is worrying. Hopefully her close circle sees this as a clear sign that they need to be with her and get her back on track if she's taking pills again. We can't lose another artist this way. Change it one more time.. | |

Anyone see another recent show? If she was ok duting that chances are good she did have a cold. It IS that time of year. | |

Some of these "fans" are not fans. And many of the people I've seen posting comments on social media and message boards and Youtube video commentary come off as more interested in getting likes and views than wishing someone well and their 'pray up' rhetoric reeks of insincerity.

For real?! I don't read that shit; I know Chaka is a great singer and she has had her ups and downs. I hope that she gets back on an upswing soon. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato | |

The reality of the times we're living in is the public is more interested in watching the video of the artist being dragged by some dimwit with a webcam than the video of the artist doing their art. | |

First of all, why is this in the Related Artists thread? Will any future posts about Patti LaBelle be moved to this forum? She has worked with Prince, too. But, I digress.

Thanks for your post. I'm heartened to hear that Chaka's background singer considers illness as the cause but I agree with you that the show should have been cancelled or an announcement made before Chaka left the stage. When I saw her in 2011 with Chrisette Michele she gave a terrific performance...

Prayers for wellness for Chaka. [Edited 3/24/18 18:54pm] | |

I agree wholeheartedly!! Recent posts about Janelle Monáe's new album and her nods to her mentor Prince were moved to the Music: Non-Prince forum. And, it seems that one of the cuts might have actually been produced by Prince near the end of his life. Same thing with the recent news of Meshell Ndegeocello and her cover of Prince's "Sometimes It Snows in April" on her new album. It was not allowed in the Prince forum. I just pray that Queen Chaka keeps her head up. This, too, shall pass.

Oh she will. If nothing else, Chaka is the ultimate survivor. Her reputation as an unreliable live performer has been haunting her since she first started with Rufus in the 70's. She always bounces back. Just when folk think she's over, she comes back full force to blow everyone away! Even in 2018, Chaka can still wipe up with floor with 99% of the alleged divas of today.

I know enough people who've worked with Chaka over the last few years and that flu is clearly a recurring thing
I really do hope she sorts herself out. At the London show of hers that I attended last year, the weirdest thing she came out with was "I won't be around that much longer". | |
- E-mail - orgNote - ![]() |
Yeah. I don't think the folks over at her board appreciated it when I made the statement that they are starting to sound like Nippy's fans when they were trying to explain away Nippy's horrible live performances by saying she had the flu. She had the flu every performance for 10 years. Yeah, okay. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley | |
