Fantasia Barrino Suffers 2nd Degree Burns, Cancels Show

Remember Fantasia Barrino, who won the third season of American Idol? It may have been a while since she was making headlines, but fans are still rising to her support after she suffered an accident.

The singer was all set to headline a show as part of her tour with Charlie Wilson and Johnny Gill. Unfortunately, something happened to prevent her from taking the stage. It’s not clear how, but Fantasia ended up getting second degree burns on her arm.

Her husband Kendall Taylor posted a photo on Instagram showing her injury:

Speaking on behalf of my wife: “She walks as a powerful force in the earth. Impacting everything she touches and encounters. I love her determination and sheer will power to not accept defeat on any level. She complains little, but so sacrifices much! But there are times when our Father intentionally slows us down to reflect and hear from Him. My Wife experienced an accident today causing 2nd degree burns on her arm. She’s steady asking the Doc “Can I perform tonight?” But we must be wise and realize this isn’t a race, but rather a marathon. So Memphis, our team is already working to create a means that she can redeem this time with you. She had something truly special planned for tonight. So please, keep my Queen lifted in prayer, asking our God to heal her rapidly with no last negative affects. Rock Soul won’t be denied, this is simply a delay that will prove to be necessary for what’s to come. We love you all and thank you for your understanding and support! #WeaponsMayForm#NoneShallPropser
