"At Last" singer Etta James is receiving 24-hour health care at her Southern California home after being diagnosed with leukemia and dementia -- and now her family is going to war over the bills.he 72-year-old singer's husband and son are at odds over who should be in charge of controlling the singer's fortune to pay her costly medical bills.

According to court documents, Etta's husband wants to move more than $1 million into a joint account so he can personally control the spending ... while Etta's son believes the money should be controlled by a third party to "avoid future and present family conflict."

In court documents, Etta's husband claims the main reason he wants control of the cash is to fulfill his wife's wish not to live her final days in a hospital.

A hearing is scheduled for later today.

So sad to hear, she is one of the great's, my best friend's father played keyboards in her touring band the year she toured with The Rolling Stones. Said she was on every night and always packed a punch with her voice.

We truly are loosing all the great's=[

Honestly, I didn't know she was still alive. Still hope whatever is going on involves as little pain as possible.

Glad to hear she made it this point in her life with that much money. Unfortunate that family is fighting over it now.
