My prayers go to Etta James and her family at this terrible time. She has been battling leukiema for a couple of years now. She is a real fighter but it looks like the battle is almost up.

Etta James IS and will ALWAYS be a true legend.

We're losing another legend. May her passing be swift and painless.

At last is such an amazing song - hope Josh sings it as a tribute on the Xfactor Usa final next week!

That is so so sad! Another Musical Icon will be lost

Just last week i was thinking about going back through her catalogue and then to read it on DS....it is so sad.

My heart goes out, what a voice that influenced so so many from the Whitney/Mariah generation to the Christina/Beyonce generation and more! Etta James!

73 really is no age

She's also Adele's favourite singer of all time and the reason she wanted to be a singer at all. When Adele finished her 2009 tour of the US with that massive show at the Hollywood Bowl Etta was booked as co-headliner but was too ill to make it.

Very sad.

Might be a touch morbid, but at least we know her tribute performance(s) will be incredible with all the singers she's influenced.
