Aretha Franklin is heeding her doctor’s advice.

The Queen of Soul has canceled her July 1 concert in Toronto due to health issues.

The 75-year-old was scheduled to perform at the Toronto Jazz Festival at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, but the concert hall announced on its website today that Aretha was unable to travel to Toronto because of “doctor’s orders.”

The icon has been performing for the last 56 years straight, though her health has declined in recent years.

Specific details of her illness were not given. The star is now rescheduled to perform at the festival on June 29, 2018. Ticketholders can either receive a refund or use the tickets for the 2018 show.

Feel better, Aretha!
