Chaka Khan back at her best after rehab

Chaka Khan has assured fans she’s back on top form after completing a recent rehab stint.
The Ain’t Nobody singer was motivated to seek treatment last month (Jul16) for an addiction to pain medication after the death of her friend Prince in April (16), and now she’s back onstage with a renewed energy.
“I don’t feel depleted,” she tells Chron.com. “I’m a lot more energetic and engaged. The crowd are amazing – amazing outpours of love and appreciation. I really couldn’t ask for more.”
And, thanks to rehab, Chaka Khan is really enjoying singing all her old hits again, revealing she loves performing her Rufus & Chaka Khan hit Ain’t Nobody and the song I Know You, I Live You, adding, “It’s just a good song, I guess. It’s just one of those songs.”
The R&B veteran is working on a new album of Joni Mitchell songs: “It’s gonna be an amazing labour of love,” she tells the outlet.
Chaka restarted the tour she postponed to enter rehab last week (05Aug16). She performs in Houston, Texas on Friday (12Aug16).
