Aretha Franklin - A True Legend
An ailing
Aretha Franklin was visited on Tuesday at her home in Detroit by Stevie Wonder,
the Rev. Jesse Jackson and her ex-husband Glynn Turman, as tributes to the
Queen of Soul poured in from around the world.
A
spokeswoman for the Aretha Franklin family confirmed the visits and said in a
statement that Ms. Franklin, 76, is “seriously ill and surrounded by family
members who appreciate the outpouring of love and support they have received.”
No additional details of Ms.
Franklin’s illness were given, and the spokeswoman, Gwendolyn Quinn, declined
to answer further questions.
According to two people who were in touch with the family but
were not authorized to discuss Ms. Franklin’s condition, the singer of
“Respect” and “Natural Woman,” who is universally hailed as The Queen of Soul and
is one of America’s greatest voices, has been receiving hospice care at home.
