Stevie Wonder<\/a><\/strong> is hitting the pause button on his tour.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the legendary singer filled concertgoers in on his health at the British Summer Time Hyde Park music festival in London. There, he told fans he’s taking a break from performing due to needing a kidney transplant. However, he’s still slated to perform three more shows before going on hiatus.<\/p>\n

“So what’s gonna happen is this: I’m going to have surgery. I’m going to have a kidney transplant in September of this year,” he revealed<\/a> at the concert. “I have a donor, it’s all good.”<\/p>\n

The 69-year-old star reassured everyone that he would be fine by reiterating: “I’m all good, I’m all good, I’m all good.”<\/p>\n

Before playing his famous tunes, he added, “I want you to know I came here to give you my love. You ain’t got to hear no rumors about nothin’. I told you what’s up, I’m good.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

While the crowd was silent upon hearing the news, they all gave the legendary musician a round of applause. All in all, Wonder seemed to be in good spirits and played his hit songs, including “For Once in My Life” and “Master Blaster.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
