Franklin may have cancer
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 9 December 2010
Aretha Franklin is battling cancer, according to reports. As previously reported, the queen of soul recently cancelled all upcoming tour dates and last week underwent “successful” surgery to treat an undisclosed illness.
It’s Fox 2 News which has reported that the illness is cancer. The Detroit-based news channel cites three separate unnamed sources, one of whom confirmed Franklin had cancer, another said it was pancreatic cancer, and a third said the singer’s family were “very concerned”.
Franklin’s people are yet to comment on the reports.
