Etta James Terminally ill (A true musical Icon)
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. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/ne...in-doctor.html |

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

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

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. |
