I assume it's supposed to be Aretha Franklin. Its just baseless gossip like the one that appeared around princes death all it does is state without naming names that a star is I'll and give vague hints. That article could be any african american person famous in America. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted August 10, 2017 11 minutes ago, gcreptile said: Good point. Though I can only think of Oprah who better fits that clue, but she doesn't seem to be ill. You could be right about it being Oprah. Before she got famous in the late '80s, Oprah was 'promiscuous' and used crack cocaine. Sounds like the type of person to get AIDS. But she doesn't seem like she's anyway near death. She still has that TV channel. When was her last public appearance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume it's supposed to be Aretha Franklin. Tried searching her name in Google, I came up with this search result - which links to a deleted article. Actually could be true. Also managed to find the content. Quote The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin has cancer, according to her family. The music icon’s relatives and sources close to her confirmed the distressing news to Detroit’s Fox 2 station and The Detroit News, adding they are deeply worried about the singer’s health. Franklin, 68, underwent a mysterious surgery last Thursday at a Detroit hospital for an undisclosed condition. She released a statement after the procedure to reassure her fans, but did not specify the reason for her operation. “The surgery was highly successful,” she said. “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!” The day after her surgery, Franklin visited with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who said she was making an impressive recovery. “She’s doing very well,” Jackson told The Detroit News. “She’s very prayerful. She’s a woman of deep religious faith.” Speculation about Franklin’s poor health has been brewing since November, when the singer canceled all of her upcoming concerts due to “medical reasons.” The National Enquirer claimed Wednesday that Franklin was actually diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer months ago. The Enquirer “claims doctors made the glum diagnosis after Aretha broke her ribs in a shower fall over the summer,” reports Popcrunch, which obtained the report. The tabloid suggests Franklin has less than a year to live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully William will have a lot of time to be with his young family, before he has to become King. (Assuming Charles gets pushed aside somehow. ) Question: if William decided NOT to be king, would the title go to William`s Oldest child, or to Harry and his future children?

But if they die without having children then it goes to the illegitimate Harry and his soon to be yank missus. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the illegitimate rumours about Harry are wrong but have developed a life of their own. I don't think Diana met James Hewitt until after Harry was born. The dates don't tally. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting. Harry`s children will partially be African American. So that would result in the Royal Family will actually represent their Royal sujects, at least racially/ethnically. We live in interesting times. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
