It can be hard for some entertainers to bid a farewell to the stage, especially when it comes to the icons who\u2019ve been performing in front of thousands for the better part of the last half century. Pioneering R&B queen Gladys Knight is without doubt one of the special few, bringing us timeless musical memories as both a lead member of The Pips in the 1960s and even longer as a solo star stretching from the late 1970s to this very day.<\/p>\n

At 82 years old, she\u2019s reached a point in her career where rest has not only been earned but also highly recommended by fans. Following a handful of concerning live shows recently where Knight appeared to be a bit out of it, the seven-time GRAMMY-winning diva has officially announced a step back from the big stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter much soul searching I\u2019ve decided that I will be easing into fewer performances while focusing on transitioning into the next stage of my career and life moving forward,\u201d she wrote in a statement posted on Instagram (seen above), further adding, \u201cI\u2019ll be spending more time on projects with my husband and visiting with my grandbabies and am looking forward to this new era.\u201d The announcement came not too long after her husband, William McDowell, opened up to TMZ<\/a> about her \u201cgood days and bad\u201d in response to a viral July 25 show at the Hollywood Bowl that had many viewers expressing concern. \u201cNo one is ever gonna make me say, \u2018My wife is well,\u2019 but all she wants to do is sing,\u201d he candidly told the outlet, even stating that an evaluation for dementia will be explored in the near future. McDowell plans to let her upcoming show on September 5 be the deciding factor on whether or not remaining dates in her current tour will be cancelled.<\/p>\n

This comes just a year after her son, Shanga Hankerson, accused McDowell of mental and financial abuse, even claiming he\u2019s the reason behind her seemingly never-ending tour schedule. He told PEOPLE<\/a><\/em> at the time, \u201cI did my best to give [McDowell] the space to play the role of husband and do what was in my mom\u2019s best interest, and he has not done that. Why is she working? Why is she in this situation where she\u2019s being made to believe that she has to work like this? That\u2019s really my issue with it.\u201d <\/p>\n

Knight issued a response to that statement, telling the outlet in her own words, \u201cI\u2019m sorry that my health and performances have been misrepresented. I want my fans and those concerned to rest assured I am doing very well for someone who has been on stage for three quarters of a century, hard to believe, right?\u201d <\/p>\n

While it\u2019s clear to anyone with ears that Gladys Knight still has the vocal chops to perform, whether or not she\u2019s still physically able to sustain the energy for a full show is a whole other conversation. Nonetheless, we\u2019re just happy to hear she\u2019ll soon be getting the time to kick back and rest her legendary feet.<\/p>\n
