Etta James Terminally Ill Iconic soul singer Etta James, best known for her 1961 hit “At Last,” is now terminally ill, her live-in doctor said Friday.
Dr. Elaine James, who isn't related to the 73-year-old entertainer, told the Riverside Press-Enterprise that the singer's chronic leukemia was declared incurable two weeks ago.
The doctor has been caring for Etta James since March 2010 at the singer's Riverside, Calif. area home, where she's now under 24-hour medical care and has been placed on oxygen.
“She's in the final stages of leukemia. She has also been diagnosed with dementia and Hepatitis C,” the singer’s longtime manager Lupe De Leon said. “Her husband is with her 24 hours a day, and her sons visit regularly. We're all very sad. We're just waiting."
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming
Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
