In short
- Gladys Knight announced that she will perform less frequently as she shifts attention to other parts of her career and life after decades on stage.
Gladys Knight said she is cutting back on live performances as she enters what she described as the next stage of her career and life.
The singer announced the decision on Thursday, August 27, 2026, saying she would ease into fewer performances and focus on other areas. The move is a reduction in her schedule, not an announced retirement.
Knight has spent roughly three-quarters of a century performing, making the change a significant transition in one of popular music’s longest-running careers.
