Aretha Franklin has been forced to cancel her upcoming Toronto concert on doctor's orders.

The 76-year-old soul legend was to play the TD Toronto Jazz Festival on June 28 at the Sony Centre — a concert delayed almost a year from its originally scheduled date in 2017.

However, a rep for the festival now states Franklin "has been ordered not to perform in the coming months."

Ticket holders will now receive full refunds.

The Toronto date was the only concert on Franklin's upcoming live schedule.
