Anita Baker cancels Atlanta concert 'minutes' before it starts

[Ali Gator]

Jazz / R&B singer Anita Baker canceled a concert in Atlanta just minutes before it was supposed to start the night before Mother's Day. Angry fans - some who paid more than $50 to park their car before heading over to the arena - took to social media to air their grievances. Apparently, this is something she has done many times in the past 40 years, since she started performing.

I've never heard of her, but I'd be upset, too......there is some talk in the comments of arthritis she may have flaring up suddenly just before the concert......I don't know.......

MORE news is circulating that Baker wasn't even in Georgia this past weekend. Those poor people who wasted so much money they'll never  get back  - especially with parking and / or hiring a baby sitter.

I absolutely love her music but she's done this more than once and it's become a problem.  Last year she did a joint concert with Babyface in NYC and showed up over an hour late, only sang like 4-5 songs and didn't even want Babyface to perform.  Not to mention she only sang the chorus to most of her songs and cut the show early.

I heard about that. Apparently she pissed Babyface off. No one does that.
