SOLANGE APOLOGISES TO FANS

The Opera House revealed that Solange expressed her regrets at canceling the shows and disappointing her fans. The health issues that compelled her to cancel were not divulged.

SOLANGE WILL BE IN AUSTRALIA IN THE SUMMER

Solange fans will still have an opportunity to see the dynamic performer in action this year since Beyoncé's sister will be one of the performers at the 2020 Governors Ball Music Festival in New York.

The Festival is scheduled for June 5 to 7, hopefully giving Solange plenty of time to recover before joining the array of stars expected at Randall's Island Park which include Missy Elliott, and Danny Brown.

Get well soon, Solange!

MATHEW KNOWLES REVEALS SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUE

In October 2019 Mathew Knowles, the father of singing sensations Solange and Beyoncé Knowles and former manager of Destiny's Child, revealed that he is suffering from breast cancer.

The 67-year-old opened up about his health issues on "Good Morning America," in the hopes that his story may alert other men to the early diagnosis of the disease.

Breast cancer is relatively rare in men, comprising less than 1% of all cases, but its mortality rate is much higher due to the fact that most patients ignore the warning signs of the deadly disease.
