Her doctors have advised her to undergo tests.
"I was very much looking forward to being in Brooklyn and having a foot long hot dog at Coney Island," Franklin said in a statement to the Detroit News. "Hopefully, I will get it before the end of August."

With an azz that big, she didn't have far to fall.

It's really sad that some of you are making fun of Aretha Franklin. Apparently some of you cannot even spell the word respect. Respect for one of the greatest artists in the business; for a legend that has produced great music over 40 years that we ALL can still dance to, sing along with and enjoy; and RESPECT for an elder! How DIS - RESPECTFUL! Shame on you!

It's so easy to criticize a person for being over weight. We all have our crosses to bear. As one of her songs says"Take a look in the mirror". Look at yourself.I'm sure there are things about you that aren't so great! Aretha has Grammy's and a long illustrious career. You who slander her for her weight,,What accolades do you have????? God doesn't like ugly and you certainly fill that bill,,,
God bless you Aretha,,,, lw
