Dionne Warwick’s upcoming show in Illinois, scheduled for June 24, 2023, has been canceled for medical reasons. The announcement was made via an email obtained by TMZ from the venue, Rivers Casino Des Plaines. The email stated that the cancellation was due to a “medical incident” but did not provide any further details. The casino has assured all ticket purchasers that they will receive a full refund and thanked them for their understanding.
However, the outlet reports that the “That’s What Friends Are For” singer began experiencing issues with one of her legs. Despite the setback, the outlet also reported that Warwick is already on the mend. Page Six has reached out to Warwick’s representative for comment but has not received a response at the time of writing.

After news of Warwick’s health issue surfaced, fans took to Twitter to send their well wishes. One fan wrote, “Prayers up for everyone’s Auntie @dionnewarwick. We all hope you feel better soon #SayALittlePrayerForYou

.” Another added, “Hope you’re feeling better soon! @dionnewarwick,” while a third tweeted, “Sending love and healing vibes to @dionnewarwick.”
Other Concert Dates Uncertain

Earlier this year, Warwick revealed that she and Dolly Parton were working on a gospel song together. The “Walk On By” singer said during a January appearance on the “Tamron Hall Show” that Parton had sent her another song, a gospel song called “Peace Like a River,” that they would be performing as a duet. Warwick expressed her excitement about the collaboration, stating that it would be “very special” compared to the many duets she had done over the years.
