The First Lady of Soul has taken a tumble and broken several ribs, forcing her to cancel several shows in Brooklyn, New York, later this month. Her spokesperson said that she was in some pain, but hoped to be back belting it out on stage again soon. “I was very much looking forward to being in Brooklyn and having a foot long hot dog at Coney Island,” Franklin said in the statement. “Hopefully, I will get it before the end of August.”
