Someone check on how Ayatollah Khamenei is doing then, cause it looks like the 2011 list is taking a beating right now...

The family is asking for prayers - well then, I say a little prayer...

 

Easy to say in hindsight, but this was in the making. I had her in my draft for next year for a while, currently 2nd sub. Now a must-have but it's not going to happen.

Apparently there is '(Son of) a Preacher Man' at her bedside already and I 'Think' she will be lucky to make it 'Through the Storm' and 'Ain't No Way' she is even going to see 'Another Night' before she's an 'Angel' so I think we should give her a little 'Respect'.

I'm a simple man, I hear of a celebrity being gravely ill, I come to deathlist.net 

 

She's #35 on my shadowlist!

Will be the death that finally knocks the Inverse into a hitless-less field, assuming it's as imminent as it sounds.

Aye, and a lot of people placed her very highly too (not me though :D), so I think there will be a huge shake up in the leaderboard...

No, but she was in the top 50 most picked names, probably due to some health scares last year...

Confirmed now by the AP that she is gravely ill - the first independent verification of the reports.

It would be quite the strike after Matt "Guitar" Murphy's death this year too....

TMZ are running a story now.

They say she has cancer, and one of the sources says that she weighs 86lbs (39kg). This is it for her.


Yay for TMZ.  We've been running that story here for a year, maybe more.

Wow, that's some weight loss considering how big she was a while back. Yep, I think this is it.

The fact that even the BBC is reporting on it makes me think that they’re expecting her to be dead very soon. 

Definitely a sad loss when she does go though. :(

Sadly Aretha Franklin will not be on next year list. She is not likely to last another day by all accounts .Multiple credible sources now saying she is 'gravely ill' and 'close to death' and 'surrounded by family'. usually a clear sign the end is imminent. . Could be a major announcement literally any minute now  :( RIP Aretha

It ain't over till the fat lady sings - wait, she is the fat lady*? Oh no - sounds like something Escher might have thought up.

 

 

*Yes I'm ignoring the 86kgs thing.

Is it impossible for her to recover you think ?

 

Nothing's impossible, but it does seem highly improbable.
