Chaka Khan enters rehab for addiction to prescription drugs

Iconic singer Chaka Khan and her sister have both entered a drug rehabilitation program to battle their addictions to prescription medication. 

A statement was released to The Associated Press earlier today, which reads:

"Unfortunately, I will miss concert appearances over the summer. However, it's vital that I put my health and well-being first. I know that I am disappointing some of my fans, but I also know they would want me to recover and be well and healthy."

Khan added that she and her sister, Yvonne Stevens, "agreed we would take this journey together and support each other through the recovery."

"The tragic death of Prince has had us both rethinking and reevaluating our lives and priorities. We knew it was time to take action to save our lives. My sister and I would like to thank everyone for their support, love and prayers."
