SPARTACUS 4,214 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 "The Queen of Soul is currently surrounded by friends and family and they’re asking for prayers and privacy at this time. According to Showbiz 411, she’s in a “gravely ill” state as those around her are preparing for the worst. Franklin has been battling numerous health problems for years and had to cancel a series of concerts last summer citing “doctor’s orders.” Her latest performance was on November 2 of last year for the Elton John AIDS Foundation in New York. The 76-year-old was reportedly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2011, but she denied reports that she carried the disease. Last February, Aretha announced that 2017 would be her last year “in concert.” We’re praying that Aretha Franklin can pull though and will keep you updated with more details about her condition as they become available." https://www.bet.com/music/2018/08/12/aretha-franklin-hospitalized.html?cq_ck=1534129101050&cid=BETMusic__TW __Link_1720132437&linkId=55468972 UPDATE: Source: Aretha Franklin is in hospice care (CNN) Aretha Franklin is in hospice care at her home, a source close to the 76-year-old singer told CNN's Don Lemon. Word of the "Queen of Soul" being gravely ill was first reported by Showbiz 411. Showbiz 411's Roger Friedman told CNN: "She has a great family, she's surrounded by love, and the world is sending prayers. All further announcements will be made by her family. We just want to send love and prayers." The soul singer has been dogged by reports of failing health for years and appeared frail in recent photos, but she has kept her struggles private. In February of 2017, Franklin announced that she would stop touring, but she continued to book concerts. Earlier this year, she canceled a pair of performances, including at the New Orleans Jazz Fest, on doctor's orders, according to Rolling Stone. In 2010, she was forced to cancel to scheduled performances due to fractured ribs and abdominal pain. https://edition.cnn.com/2018/08/13/entertainment/aretha-franklin-ill/index.html -𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐌𝐀™ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
