Discussing her recent surgery, Franklin said: "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."

Yeah I mean this is terrible. She's so outrageously talented and most of her albums are impressive.

How the fuck don't you know about Aretha? At the very least you should know her because of her extraordinary hat at Obama's inauguration or Snickers commercials.

Shes literally the female version of Michael Jackson minus the crazy.

But really, I hope she's able to pull through or at the very least not have to suffer. Odds are against her, guys.
