Gladys Knight, 82, says she is cutting back on live performances after health concerns emerge from recent appearances. Multiple outlets report that the decision follows uncertainty during the tour process after some recent shows prompted concerns about whether she should continue performing on the road.
The outlets describe the change as a reduction rather than a full retirement from performing. They cite Knight’s public statement explaining that she will do fewer live engagements, linked to how she has been feeling following recent concerts. One outlet emphasizes that touring staff were left questioning whether she should still be on tour, while another focuses more broadly on her announcement to scale back at her age.
Overall, the reporting agrees that the adjustment is prompted by health-related concerns tied to recent performances, and that Knight’s plans shift toward limiting live appearances going forward.
