August 16, 2018This just in: Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, has passed away. She was 76. Sadly, we knew this was coming, as earlier reports indicated she was “gravely ill” and surrounded by friends and family.
Aretha passed away in her Detroit home where she was under hospice care. She’d been in failing health for many months and she was down to 86 pounds. One source told us he was informed more than a week ago that Aretha could go at any time.
She was surrounded by friends and family when she passed.

Prayers for her friends and family. It’s so tough. I lost my sweet grandfather last week. Needless to say, I’m particularly sensitive to this stuff right now. My heart goes out to her family. Only time (and the Lord) can heal. I’m sure they take heart in knowing she’s no longer suffering. It’s all you can do.
