Well, the reason for canceling the show is told to be “late, unforeseen circumstances.” Besides this, no other official statement has been released yet.

First, the cancelation of the Atlanta concert and then the Ontario concert is quite a mess, right? Anita lately appears to have her prioritization over something else rather than her professionalism towards her audiences.
Meanwhile, the significant thing to look over is that Anita Baker hasn’t addressed her ticket buyer regarding any of those situations. This undoubtedly has led her loyal fans to contemplate her well-being.
Netizens appear to be concerned over Anita Baker’s health, wondering, ‘if she is okay’
Especially after her Atlanta concert was canceled, Anita Baker not only faced criticism but also gained sympathy and concern from her sensible fans. Many appear to link the matter to her health condition as well.
On May 12, 2024, a Twitter user, KayRie, tweeted, “Anita Baker hasn’t posted in 2 days. I follow her and she at least retweets if she don’t say anything herself. Let’s hope she’s okay fr.”
The tweet also drew people’s attention to the singer and songwriter’s age, saying, “Remember, she’s not that young.”
As the tweet suggests, there’s a high possibility that her health may have deteriorated before the concert; after all, she is already 66 years old. What to add further: let’s wait for Anita’s statement.
