That ailment at her age? Practically a DL tap in.

Absolutely.ALS is brutal enough for anyone but someone nearly 86 and with pre existing health conditions it is even worse.Also at her age and with other health problems there is far less chance Doctors would want to put her on invasive ventilation.

I still think she will get on there.Big name deadly diagnosis.Of course she is older but so many on the Drop 40 are.

I wonder if she will have a similar lifespan to Ronnie Corbett who died 12 months after his ALS diagnosis at the same age.

DJ Spinna has a new funky take on one of Flack's hits (if you like classics updated to a "shopping for new pantyhose" number):

Looking on Google News I can't see anything recent other than she can't sing anymore.
