Jakarta - Penyanyi dan aktris Solange Knowles batal tampil sebagai bintang tamu utama pada Festival Afropunk di Johannesburg, Afrika Selatan pada malam tahun baru.

Pembatalan tersebut dikarenakan alasan kesehatan. Solange Knowles baru-baru ini secara terbuka mengatakan ia tengah berjuang melawan autonomic disorder selama lima bulan ke belakang.

"Selama lima bulan, saya tengah berjuang dan bekerja melawan Autonomic Disorder. Ini adalah perjalanan yang tidak mudah untuk saya," tulisnya dalam sebuah keterangan foto di akun Instagram-nya, @saintrecords.

Solange Knowles juga membeberkan, batalnya ia untuk tampil di Afropunk adalah karena dokter tidak menyarankan dirinya untuk berpergian jauh dengan pesawat untuk waktu yang lama.

Dalam keterangan tersebut, ia mengaku awalnya ragu untuk mengeluarkan pernyataan mengenai kondisi kesehatannya.

"(Saya) menulis, menghapus, dan menulisnya lagi sekitar lima kali...," tulisnya sebagai pembuka keterangan foto itu.

Meski kali ini batal tampil, namun Solange Knowles berjanji suatu hari akan tampil dalam Afropunk Festival.

"Tapi saya memberimu kata yang pasti, saya akan kembali ke Afropunk dan tampil di sana... Ini sangat penting bagi saya untuk terhubung dengan orang-orang yang menginspirasi saya," tulisnya lagi.

Autonomic Disorder adalah penyakit yang mengganggu sistem syaraf otonom. Syaraf otonom tak lain adalah syaraf bisa bekerja sendiri.

Wrote, deleted and re wrote this like 5 times... Still not sure what exactly or how much I want to share... However it's so important to me for the people in South Africa, a place that has tremendous meaning to me and that has given me SO SO MUCH, to know why I won't be performing at Afro Punk this NYE. The past five months I have been quietly treating, and working through an Autonomic Disorder. It been a journey that hasn't been easy on me... Sometimes I feel cool, and other times not so cool at all. It's a complicated diagnoses , and I'm still learning so much myself, but right now, my doctors are not clearing me for such an extended lengthy flight, and doing a rigorous show right after. I can't put into words how saddened and sorry I am that I am unable to perform for you guys this NYE, there is simply no other place I wanted to be than there with my family to bring in 2018 with you.......but I give you my ABSOLUTE WORD I will come back with AfroPunk and deliver this performance.....as it is so extremely important to me to connect with the people who have so closely inspired me in so many ways. I can't thank Afro Punk enough for their support, and to all of the other festivals this past summer/fall who have known about my health, kept it confidential, and gone out of their way to make me feel supported while doing these shows. As a part of the self care that I've tried to encourage this past year, it needs to start with myself, and I'm looking forward to doing a better job of this 2018. This past year has been one of the most fulfilling of my life... Performing this record and experiencing the energy exchange with you guys has been astounding, and I'm so excited about continuing to do the work I feel so absolutely humbled and appreciative to be doing next year. It gives me life.
