Aretha Franklin Is ‘Alert’ And Resting In Her Home – Family Member Says

Aretha Franklin is well and resting in her home, amid several reports that The Queen of Soul is ‘seriously ill’. Tim Franklin, who is Aretha Franklin’s nephew confirmed the health status of the star to the general public, he says she is ‘alert’ and resting and that the only thing the soul singer’s family needs from the people is prayers and privacy.

She is alert, laughing, teasing and able to recognise people. Tim Franklin further revealed. “Family is there with her, she is home.”
I saw her a week ago and we talked for about 45minutes to 1hour, my brother was also with her during the weekend she was alert, talking and laughing. God forbid she sees all this news about her death on TV, so it doesn’t dampen her spirit. A friend also confirmed to that the 18 time Grammy Awards winner has been ill for a long time, and that the family members are being warned that death is imminent.

The family is reportedly hopeful that Franklin’s health will turn out for good.
We believe she will pull through, she believes she will pull through and that’s the most important thing Tim said.
Since the news broke out about her health she has been receiving lots of encouragement and supports from other musicians. On Monday night during Beyonce and Jay z “On the run II,” the performance in her hometown was dedicated to her and Beyonce further wished her a speedy recovery.
