R&B legend backs out of music festival week before due to health issues
D'Angelo had to cancel what would have been his first full live show in nine years because of health issues. The R&B singer will no longer perform at the upcoming Roots Picnic in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1. 'Due to an unforeseen medical delay regarding surgery (I) had earlier this year, (I've) been advised by my team of specialists that the performance this weekend could further complicate matters,' D'Angelo wrote in an Instagram post on Friday, May 23. 'It is nearly impossible to express how disappointed [I am] not to be able to play with my Brothers 'The Roots.' And even more disappointed to not see all of you,' the 51-year-old wrote. D'Angelo ended the post by thanking fans for their support, adding that he is 'in the lab' and 'can't wait to serve up what's in the pot.' Roots Picnic, which shared the Instagram post, wrote that 'we're sending love and keeping him in our thoughts as he continues to heal!' D'Angelo was announced as a performer at the music festival back in February. The singer's appearance would have been his first full set in front of a crowd since his performance at Byron Bay Bluesfest in 2016. D'Angelo's most recent live performance was at the Netflix 'Is A Joke Fest' in 2022 where he played one song with Questlove on drums and Raphael Saadiq on guitar. Other major acts on Roots Picnic's lineup include Meek Mill, Lenny Kravitz, GloRilla, Miguel, Tems, Latto and Kaytranada. The festival takes place at The Mann at Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. Tickets for the festival can be purchased online.

D'Angelo to Headline Roots Picnic in 2025
The post D'Angelo to Headline Roots Picnic in 2025 appeared first on Consequence. D'Angelo will headline the Roots Picnic in 2025, marking a rare live performance for the R&B icon. The Black Messiah singer will perform alongside The Roots during the two-day music festival, set to take place May 31st-June 1st, at The Mann in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, PA. For D'Angelo, it will mark his first full performance in front of an audience since 2016. (In 2020, he played a set sans a crowd during a COVID-era Verzuz set, while in 2022, he sang a single song at Netflix Is a Joke Fest.) Last year, D'Angelo's close collaborator, Raphael Saadiq, revealed that D'Angelo was working on a new album, his first since Black Messiah in 2014, so perhaps he'll debut some new music during his set at the Roots Picnic. Alongside D'Angelo, the 2025 Roots Picnic lineup features Lenny Kravitz, Miguel, Kaytranda, GloRilla, Pusha T, Tems, Latto, 2 Chainz, Musiq Soulchild, and more. A ticket pre-sale for Roots Picnic begins on Tuesday, February 18th at 10:00 a.m. ET, with a public on-sale following on Friday, February 21st at 10:00 a.m. ET via the festival's website.
