Alicia Keys, who was scheduled to appear on an upcoming episode of "Finding Your Roots" with Dr. Henry Louis Gates, suddenly pulled out of the deal without giving an explanation. Her grandmother apparently has some type of family secret she may be hiding that she didn't want to be revealed if Alicia were to go on the show.
The show helps celebrities discover their genetic roots and explore their family history. Dr. Gates commented on Alicia's sudden cancellation to appear on the show, and the conversation she had with her grandmother:
"Alicia Keys, who I love as a friend of mine, agreed to be in the first series, and as you know, she's mixed. We send people a form, we need as much information as you can give us. Like the names of your parents, where they were born, grandparents etc., whatever you can give us. It makes our job a lot simpler right? Her grandmother said 'Baby, you can't be in the series. I can't tell you why, but you can't be in the series.'"
