^^Or, her nephew could shield her from it by turning off the TV, news, etc, to avoid it all. | |

Aretha is an avid news watcher. She loves the local stations in Detroit. And let me tell you, they have been all over this story like a bad rash since it was first reported. To be honest, I'm getting kind of tired of hearing about it. She's not gone yet. I wish they would stop acting like she is. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley

If it is true that she was conscious and watching the news in her final days, I hope that she will have seen how loved she was. Gotta find me an angel now. Such a beautiful voice. I’m very sad now. | |

Amen! I saw on the news that Aretha passed away... I'm so glad that she got to spend her last hours with people she knew and loved. She lived a long life, fought the good fight, but I can't help but wish she could have enjoyed another 10 years in this earthly existence. But she has moved on to a better one...

Thank you for all the decades of wonderful music, Aretha--you will never be forgotten.I think I'm in shock. Just like with Prince, I haven't listened to her music or purposely watched anything. Certainly 76 is not an unusual age to pass, and pancreatic cancer has no survivors. I'm in denial of knowing she is no longer on the earthly planet with us. Just teared up this morning.

I was a bit the same. I had a relative dying recently of pancreatic cancer too so although Aretha was a bit before my time, it hit me hard. I’ve always loved her Voice and there are a few songs of hers that I simply cannot get enough of. Also, like Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Whitney or obviously Prince, she was someone who has always been there, for as long as I can remember, and she’s now gone. We are slowly but irremediably losing all the greats... | |

Sorry for your loss, Silvertongue. From Billboard Aretha Franklin’s funeral will be held Aug. 31 in her hometown of Detroit. The late singer’s publicist, Gwendolyn Quinn, said Friday (Aug. 17) that the funeral, to be held at Greater Grace Temple, is limited to the Queen of Soul’s family and friends. Public viewings will take place Aug. 28-29 at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
