Aretha Franklin: Diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer






The 68 year old Aretha Franklin has been experiencing problems with her health recently but has chosen not to divulge any details as to her condition.  Aretha Franklin cancelled all tour dates and public appearances on doctors orders and divulged last week that she had recently undergone surgery.

Reports by family members and friends have indicated that the singer has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.  No official statement in regards to her medical condition have been made by Aretha herself or her representatives.  Aretha did make a statement in regards to her surgery saying that "The surgery was highly successful. God is still in control. I had superb doctors and nurses whom were blessed by all the prayers of the city and the country. God bless you all for your prayers!"  

A prayer vigil for the Queen of Soul was held last week December 1st.  Fans and gathered downtown in Motown to pray and show their support.
