Weight halved: Aretha Franklin is barely recognizable
She is the one, the "Queen of Soul". Her concise voice, her songs, which millions of women spoke from her soul and still do today, as well as her royal demeanor. Aretha Franklin is one of the greatest singers of our time.
Crass type change
Like many women, she suffered from obesity for years. Although slim as a young woman, her voluptuous figure later became her trademark. In 2015 she was still performing at the Kennedy Center Honors, but now she surprised at a concert in Philadelphia, halving the weight and turning her short hair into a long mane.

Health problems
Again and again rumors of a colorectal cancer emerged, to which Aretha, however, never properly expressed. On the occasion of their blatant weight loss, these rumors came rolling again. However, it is known that in 2016 she hired a nutritionist and quit smoking. The soul diva is also planning more gigs, like this one in Atlanta next October. Also for 2018 dates are scheduled.
