Dionne Warwick worried fans after her team released a statement confirming the cancelation of her upcoming concert due to a "medical incident."

The attendees of Warwick's now-canceled concert initially received an email from the event center Thursday informing them of the changes in the show.
"We regret to inform you that the Dionne Warwick performance on June 24, 2023, at Rivers Casino Des Plaines has been cancelled due to a medical incident," the statement read. "All ticket purchases will receive a full refund."
