Still think she could have been on the list this year. Also, let's not forget her role in 2 WrestleManias. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were on heavy drugs when they said that and sounded like Iraqi Comical Ali. If they (her nephew) had shut up before I would not laugh at them. Anyway no one should disrespect a dead person, that's not what I'm doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,977 Posted August 16, 2018 Noticed in the BBC article that they said she had the neuroendocrine type of pancreatic cancer. Def gives credence to the pancan rumors from eight years ago and explains how she lasted such a long time since that type of pancan is much more of a slow burner. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted August 16, 2018 Big year for major music deaths. Dolores O'Riordan, Avicii, Danny Kirwan, XXXTentacion, now Aretha Franklin - wide variety of genres, of course. RIP to the Queen of Soul. Aretha was literally living history, from her friendship with Martin Luther King, to singing at Obama's inauguration. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
