“It’s vital that I put my health and well-being first.”

Chaka Khan says Prince’s death encouraged her to enter rehab.

The ‘Ain’t Nobody’ singer told The Associated Press on Sunday (July 10) that she is undergoing treatment for an addiction to the same medication that Prince died as a result of. A law enforcement official confirmed in June that an opioid overdose was the cause of Prince’s death on April 21.

“Unfortunately, I will miss concert appearances over the summer,” said Khan. “However, it’s vital that I put my health and well-being first. I know that I am disappointing some of my fans, but I also know they would want me to recover and be well and healthy.”

Khan has entered a rehabilitation and aftercare program with her sister, Yvonne Stevens, also known as R&B singer Taka Boom. Khan said the pair agreed to “take the journey together and support each other through the recovery.”

“The tragic death of Prince has had us both rethinking and reevaluating our lives and priorities. We knew it was time to take action to save our lives. My sister and I would like to thank everyone for their support, love and prayers.”

Khan covered Prince’s 1979 song ‘I Feel For You’ and the two were long-time friends.
