Soul star Patti LaBelle is taking up meditation, so she can "find her inner self."

As she approaches 64, the diva is trying to calm down and learn to relax.

Speaking to reporters at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in New York on Monday night, La Belle said, "Lately I’ve been taking care of myself more. I’ve been having massages and facials and next week I’m starting yoga for the first time. I’m taking it up.

"I’m going to meditate to find a peaceful centre. I’m a Gemini. I have 15 personalities. I need to find myself."
