Subject: Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, 76, has now sadly died

Written By: Philip Eno on 08/13/18 at 6:31 am

Original ‘Queen of Soul’ Aretha Franklin is understood to be ‘gravely ill’ in Detroit. The 76-year-old performer is surrounded by friends and family, who are asking for prayers. Breaking the news in his Showbiz 411 column, veteran entertainment reporter Roger Friedman said: ‘Aretha is surrounded by family and people close to her. She will be so missed as a mother, sister, friend, cousin. ‘But her legacy is larger than life. It’s not just that Rolling Stone called her the number 1 singer of all time, or that she is the Queen of Soul. Long live the Queen.’

Wow I hope she gets better. I loved Urethra’ s early stuff such as R-E-S-P-E-C-T, and her role in the Blues Brothers flick.

I will "Say A Little Prayer" for her but to be honest I don't think she'll make it, gravely ill means she could pass away any day, month or year, depending on how long she stays in hospice.

Has anybody heard what sort of medical problem she is having? ???

Hopefully her tribute band will soldier on.
