Didn't see a thread on this. They're reporting that doctors are saying it's any minute now :mjcry:

Aretha Franklin Gravely Ill from Cancer

Aretha Franklin is gravely ill and friends and family are gathering for their final goodbye ... TMZ has confirmed.

A source very close to Aretha and a longtime dear friend tells TMZ he was told a week ago, "Prepare yourself, she's dying." The source adds Aretha was down to 86 pounds and her health was failing. The source says 2 weeks ago everyone in Aretha's circle was told "she could go any time."

Another source -- someone who has been close to Aretha for decades -- tells TMZ she has been battling cancer.

Franklin, who is 76, has been in poor health over the last few years. She has performed, but only on a limited basis ... most recently last November at an Elton John AIDS Foundation event.

The news that her health is failing first came from Roger Friedman over at Showbiz411, and WDIV TV in Detroit says Aretha's family confirmed she is gravely ill.

If you haven't heard that Sparkle Soundtrack, do yourself a favor and listen to that Sparkle Soundtrack from the 70s.

Man :wow:


Listen it to it while relaxing with your girl or something, hell just listen to it. I was amazed by the range of her voice and essence and beauty of her voice.
