“Each year I grow, and that’s a blessing from God,"LaBelle said in the show announcement. "I do what I can do. I do what I feel God has given me the energy to do, so I just go out there and I do it…it’s not about making money because I don’t need money, but I need to sing. With a voice or without, I’ve got to get on that stage."

LaBelle is not only a singer, she's an actress, baker, and cookbook author.
