Aretha Franklin never had pancreatic cancer! The Queen of Soul wants to set the record straight about her recent health scare.
The 68-year-old Grammy winner isn’t about to get into the specifics of her health problem but she wants to make one thing clear: “I don’t know where ‘pancreatic cancer’ came from,” Aretha told Access Hollywood in a phone interview on Thursday. “I was sitting there reading the newspaper and it was saying someone in my family said that. No one in my family ever said that to anybody.”
Aretha Franklin Died
The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin has died. That’s the news that’s topping Google Trends at this moment. Nothing is confirmed as yet. (Update: Aretha is fine, it’s another fake death hoax)
Aretha underwent surgery for a mystery illness about a month ago. And rumor has it that she had pancreatic cancer. The National Enquirer reported recently that Aretha has incurable pancreatic cancer. The rag lists pancreatic survival rates at 5-10%, and even lower for someone of Franklin’s age and weight. Patrick Swayze died from the same form of cancer in September last year.

Gotta love Aretha Franklin who sang at Obama’s inaguaration and told someone to “shut up” while in mid-sing of “Let Freedom Ring”. Ha! It was such a beautiful moment. Of course, no clue as to who Aretha was talking to and what went down on the other side of the camera, but her big bow headband and sassy attitude put her as the most divalicious of the divas out there. Check it out.
Did you think Aretha did a good job?
