Many news outlets are reporting The Queen is back in the hospital and is gravely ill. Sending my prayers to Aretha and her family.
I’m seeing reports that she’s preparing for transition! Praying for the best, and preparing for the worst! No matter when, it will always be too soon for me!
Best wishes and prayers going out to The "Queen". I did some investigation and thus far, the news sources behind the reports I've seen are largely foreign entities or other non mainstream outlets. Obviously, most truly knew that due to her recent reported health issues...this day should not come as a too unexpected surprise, but until I see some more mainstream news sources other than Daily Mail and The Sun...I'll await more information. Sad day though...
That's what I thought too. But BET is reporting it too!

I follow Melba Moore on Facebook and she has posted a statement for prayers for Aretha Franklin.
Roger Friedman is the original source of the news. I hate to say this, but I think this is true this time.
The Queen of Soul is bidding farewell...
I don't think Melba would post something unless she had it from a reliable source. I guess this news shouldn't come as too much of a shock, but if it is indeed true it is a very sad time for us all. However, Aretha is a fighter so lets not give up on her quite yet.
Dear Aretha, you are in our heart and our prayers.
Praying for Aretha the greatest female singer of all time.
Here's Roger Freidman's post -

So sorry to hear about this. Prayers for Aretha Franklin.
The Detroit Free Press is reporting the crisis.

This is the lead story on WWJ Newsradio 950. They report that she is in a local Detroit hospital "gravely ill". They have a reporter who is outside of New Bethel Baptist Church and is talking to people in the neighborhood who knew her when they lived on Lasalle street. The radio station states that the family is asking for prayers worldwide. WWJ 950 is an all news radio station in Detroit.
Prayers going up for the one and only Lady Soul. A tough day indeed.
It's on CNN now.
If Miss Franklin is transitioning may the Good Lord lead her home to his Heavenly mansion where shes going to be free from pain and singing with his choir. My prayers are with you Miss Franklin.
CBS in Detroit.

To say she was blessed and gifted is an understatement! She truly was the daughter of Detroit and the queen of music.
When that time comes, Aretha, take your rest. You EARNED it Queen Ree!

I agree with you Midnightman.
It's been on the BBC for the past 4 hours so it's for real :[[

In the little time she has left to be with us, I’d like to say thank you to Ms. Aretha for the music. You’ve brought joy to millions every where! I’ll miss you Ree Ree!
Dear Miss Franklin: I know you will not read this but I can only hope you can somehow 'feel' it. I've been a fan since the 'Aretha's Gold' lp and have purchased every lp you issued since then. I awaited each and every tv appearance in the 70's and was never disappointed. The piano playing, the African robes, the VOICE! Always a joy to experience. And the live concerts in New York - just legendary, from the 'With Everything I Feel In Me' tour up to NJPAC 3 years ago. Thrilling. Just thrilling. You added immeasurably to my life experience and for that I thank you. Being an Aretha fan has been an absolute joy.
Hi All: It was reported on the news here that Aretha is out of the Detroit Medical Center hospital and is now in hospice care. I don't think it'll be much longer.
Don Lemon just told his audience on CNN that Aretha is at home in hospice care. May her journey home to her Heavenly Father be peaceful and loving.
Usually when someone is sent home in hospice care, that means it's over. :[[
Oh my. Very sad to hear the news about Aretha.
I have to say though I still admire this woman's courage. That's one hopeful, praying woman. Whatever happens, if she survives it or she dies tomorrow night or whatever, she earned the rest like I said.
Thanks to Queen Ree for all the great moments she gave me and the world.
Love, light & gratitude to Aretha. All hail the Queen.
It aint over until the Lord says it's over. I've known a couple of people to go into hospice and end up with a rebound, so I'm not giving up hope. But whenever it happens- tomorrow or twenty years from now- what a legacy to leave behind!! All hail the Queen indeed.
We just pray for him.
