Great concern! Soul legend Aretha Franklin is said to be dying
Great concern for Aretha Franklin! The "Queen of Soul" should be very bad, as the US portal "Showbiz 411" exclusively wants to have experienced. According to the report, the 76-year-old "seriously ill". She lives in Detroit, Michigan. Her family was with her and asked for "prayers and privacy".
This is not the first time that Aretha Franklin has made headlines with her health. As early as 2010, the soul singer was diagnosed with cancer. She took up the fight against the disease. Recently she had to cancel two big shows in March 2018 on the advice of her doctor. Also in the summer of 2017 she could not perform at the Toronto Jazz Festival.
Aretha Franklin? one of the greats
The 76-year-old had her last stage appearance at the beginning of November 2017 at a concert in New York for the AIDS Foundation of Elton John (71). Shortly thereafter, the soul legend was mistakenly declared dead.
The career of Aretha Franklin is paved with awards, but only 18 Grammys could dust her. One of her biggest hits is her cover of Otis Redding's 1967 "Respect" song, which became a hymn to the black civil rights movement. In 2005, US President George W. Bush (72) awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the two highest civilian awards in the United States.
Franklin was twice married and has four children, the sons Clarence (63), Edward (61), Ted (54) and Kecalf (48).
