Grammy-award winning singer Chaka Khan has entered a rehab facility in an effort to curb her prescription drug abuse.

Khan and her sister Yvonne Stevens, aka Taka Boom, recently entered a rehabilitation program to treat their addictions to prescription drugs, according to multiple outlets.

She reportedly said she has been battling an addiction to the same medication that led to Prince's death and that his passing had spurred her decision to seek treatment.


A rep for the singer said Khan has struggled with prescription pain medication dependence and has "voluntarily entered" a treatment program "to get healthy and stay that way."


"Chaka Khan has entered an addiction rehabilitation and aftercare program which will cause her to postpone all dates scheduled for the month of July," her rep said in a statement with E! News.

"Chaka has struggled with a dependence on prescription pain medications and has voluntarily entered the program to get healthy and stay that way.

As part of the ongoing outpatient treatment the doctors have urged her to resume recording mid-July and all performances beginning August 1st and onward."
