Etta James recovering in LA hospital Blues singer Etta James hospitalized in LA
Wed Jul 25, 10:21 PM ET LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Blues singer Etta James is in stable condition in a Los Angeles hospital, suffering from complications from abdominal surgery, her manager said on Wednesday. The 69-year-old rock 'n' roll pioneer was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, following the mid-June surgery, Lupe De Leon wrote in an e-mail to Reuters. James hopes to be well enough by the end of August to join blues icon B.B. King and soul veteran Al Green on a tour that began in Florida on Tuesday. "If it had been left solely up to her, she would have checked herself out of the hospital and started the tour regardless of her delicate health", De Leon said. "However, her doctor advised that were she to do so, it would put her at very great risk." R&B singer Chaka Khan is substituting James on the tour. James helped pioneer rock 'n' roll in the mid-1950s with tunes such as "The Wallflower" and "Good Rockin' Daddy". She diversified into mainstream blues, soul and R&B during the 1960s, after signing with Chess Records. The three-time Grammy winner was inducted to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993 and remains an active recording artist. Reuters/Nielsen | |

LOVE Etta!! I was hoping to see her at the Pier 6 Baltimore show, but she won't be making that one. I heard on the news today that Little Richard will be filling in. OK, I've got a lot of respect for the brother, but I can't imagine seeing him when I was planning to see Ms James. I hope she recovers soon and not just to make her gigs, but to just be well! Never trust anything spoken in the presence of an erection.

Get well soon. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |
