Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin is suffering from pancreatic cancer, a source familiar with the situation has told The Detroit News.
Franklin has been quiet about the nature of the illness that prompted her to cancel all upcoming events, although she did acknowledge last week that she’d successfully undergone a surgical procedure.

From The Huffington Post
A week after undergoing surgery for a mystery illness, the National Enquirer reports (via PopCrunch) that famed singer Aretha Franklin has incurable pancreatic cancer.
The surgery, labeled a success, came under mysterious circumstances. This is the first time this illness has been reported. In November, she canceled all concerts through May 2011 due to “medical reasons.”
The Enquirer’s report lists pancreatic survival rates at 5-10%, and even lower for someone of Franklin’s age and weight.
