Florida Theatre President Numa Saisselin announced the cancellation on Saturday, March 8 in a statement shared by News4JAX that began, "Tonight’s performance by Gladys Knight was canceled due to illness."
"Ms. Knight and another member of her staff were taken ill backstage, very suddenly and at the last minute, which necessitated the sudden cancellation of the show," he went on, explaining that Jacksonville Fire Rescue attended to Knight's health and "she was smiling and in good spirits when they left the building."
"We will be in touch early next week as soon as we have been able to talk to everyone we need to talk with to formulate a new plan," he reiterated, before signing off with a wish that people "keep Gladys Knight in your thoughts."
A rep later confirmed to TMZ that Knight developed the flu shortly before the show and was treated in Jacksonville. The singer was reportedly released during the night and headed back home to North Carolina to recuperate.
