D’Angelo Cancels Roots Picnic Performance Over Medical Issue

D’Angelo announced on Friday evening that he would not be performing at this year's Roots Picnic in Philadelphia.

D’Angelo wrote that due to an “unforeseen medical delay” following a surgery he had earlier this year, he was advised by his specialist team that the weekend performance “could further complicate matters.” “And even more disappointed to not see all of You.” Thanking his fans for “continuing to rock with me” and their support, the musician teased that he was “currently in the Lab” and “can’t wait to serve Up what’s in the Pot!” Maxwell, whose track “Pretty Wings” was listed among Rolling Stone ’s 100 Greatest R&B Songs of the 21st Century, earned his third Grammy for his most recent album, 2016’s blackSUMMERS’night, winning Best R&B song for “Lake by the Ocean.” The artist wrapped his 2024 North American tour back in October, which featured special guests Jazmine Sullivan and October London.
