Queen Of Soul loses 103 lbs. - But It's not enough.
CANCER-RAVAGED Aretha Franklin has shed an amazing 103 pounds in just months — but The National ENQUIRER can now reveal the horrific, soul-crushing siege she had to endure in order to lose so much weight so quickly.
In a bombshell world exclusive that will shock the music community — and fans of the legendary “Respect” singer — a source told The ENQUIRER: “Aretha’s had a cancer relapse.
“She was due to have radical chemotherapy treatments, and was told by doctors she needed to lose weight if she wanted to survive.”
In a dramatic bid for life, the 75-year-old R&B icon then opted to have life-saving, stomach-stapling surgery that would allow her body to survive the horror of chemotherapy.
The combination of the debilitating treatments and weight-loss surgery had a massive impact on the Queen of Soul — who’d ballooned to a whopping 310 pounds last June!
