ARETHA FRANKLIN’S HEALTH IS STILL A MYSTERY- AND SHE’S NOT TALKING

Secretive celebrity Aretha Franklin admits she’s gained 40 pounds in the past few months but her health is still a giant mystery. Nearly two years ago she had surgery and would never reveal what it was for. (We speculated gastric bypass.) At the time, relatives of her whispered that she had pancreatic cancer. Aretha denied that she had cancer, but STILL would not talk about her surgery. During the months that followed she cancelled concerts and lost at least 85 pounds. We feared the worst. But suddenly she seemed to snap out of her health problems and got back to work, looking healthier than ever. Now people are saying that she may NOT have had cancer, but actually had complications from her gastric surgery from which she has recovered. But she seems to be stretching her stomach again because she has packed on 40 of the pounds she lost. If Aretha DID have nothing worse than gastric surgery, we wish she would admit it so her fans can stop worrying about her. And she might get more job offers too!

  1. God bless her health. I hope she can lose that 40 pounds.

  2. just the idea I will come to the united states to support the black folks was enough to make her this slim!!

  3. I know several people that have had this surgery and all of them have gained the weight back. You have to change your eating habits.

  4. Bobby Rydell in another thread and Johnny Hallyday have had many hits since Aretha was relevant. Please let her go and do her tribute tours in peace…it doesnt matter otherwise and her voice has long since gone.

    The beauty of Elvis is that he never got old and looked like this, though he was getting close. If Whitney had gone a few years earlier she would be remembered for something other than the toothless bag lady look. What did Aretha think of Whitney’s lesbianism?

  5. An obese woman loses 85 pounds and people fear the worst?

  6. Small strokes, irregular heartbeats., fatigue and about to die from all sorts of heart and bad circulation ailments.. yes the weight was the problem.. She eats what she likes but in smaller portions.
