Etta James: TRAGIC MEDICAL UPDATE
By “Bad” Brad Berkwitt
73 year old singing legend Etta James was admitted to the hospital in Riverside, California, earlier this week with a urinary tract infection and the blood infection sepsis reported her son Sametto James.
“It was a really bad infection. Right now, she’s doing a lot better”, said Sametto James.
Etta James is a three-time Grammy winner whose signature song AT LAST is a powerful ballad. Pop Superstar Beyonce Knowles sung it at the 2009 Inauguration of President Barack Obama, who danced with wife Michelle to the song.
James, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, has struggled with obesity in the past. In 2003, she underwent gastric bypass surgery.
RSR wishes MS James a speedy recovery.
