Grammy award winning R&B singer Chaka Khan is canceling her July performances in order to focus on her health, according to her website.

The 63-year-old singer will enter into a drug rehabilitation program.

"Chaka has struggled with a dependence on prescription pain medications and has voluntarily entered the program to get healthy and stay that way," a message to fans on Khan's website said Sunday.

She became a household name and was propelled to stardom from the song "I Feel For You," written and first performed by Prince.

Khan is expected to perform in Atlanta; Atlantic City, New Jersey; Grand Prairie, Texas; and St. Louis starting August 5.

She should be back with a microphone in her hands very soon, as "doctors have urged her to resume recording mid-July and commence all performances beginning August 1st and onward," the statement said.

CNN has reached out to Khan's publicist for more information.

I guess she and Prince shared more than music. His death must have woken her up.

Tell me something good. Anyone.

I wish Prince had done that I wish her all the best. What is it with peope get so addicted to pain killers? It seems to be mostly an American thing? You don't hear much of it in Australia.........(maybe we are more highly regulated here?)
