Solange Knowles has cancelled her SA AfroPunk concert, revealing her battle with Autonomic Disorder.
Illness
In a post on Instagram, she said: “The past five months I have been quietly treating, and working through an Autonomic Disorder. It has been a journey that hasn’t been easy on me. Sometimes I feel cool, and other times not so cool at all. It’s a complicated diagnoses, and I’m still learning so much myself, but right now, my doctors are not clearing me for such an extended lengthy flight, and doing a rigorous show right after.”
She said how saddened she was, and promised to make up for cancelling her tour to the country.
“I can’t put into words how saddened and sorry I am that I am unable to perform for you guys this NYE, there is simply no other place I wanted to be than there with my family to bring in 2018 with you. But I give you my ABSOLUTE WORD I will come back with AfroPunk and deliver this performance. As it is so extremely important to me to connect with the people who have so closely inspired me in so many ways.”
