Legend. Top 5 all time. She’s been going through a lot. She gave us a lot. Changes lives and lead movements. She’s a hero. If it’s here time, then it’s her time to rest and not to “die”.


Legends live on.

There are so few of the greats left. I'm always dreading the day I hear one has died. I hope the REAL RiRi pulls through.

I worry about The Baby too.

Just another disturbing reminder that we have to take care of our bodies. The Queen of Soul is only 76 and her declining health is largely due to years of obesity.
The body can take only so much abuse. I truly hope she pulls through and I'll be profoundly saddened if she doesn't, but not surprised. And with that, I'm gonna
go cue up one of my favorites by her, "Ain't No Way". :hmm:

According to another source close to Franklin, those in the singer’s circle were told two weeks ago that “she could go any time” and that her weight was down to 85 lbs., TMZ reported.

Another source also told the outlet that Franklin has been battling cancer, a rumor that has existed for many years, which the singer has previously chosen not to address. “I am not going to even deal with that,” Franklin previously told JET.
