Organizers held a prayer vigil for Aretha Franklin yesterday in Detroit. Aretha is scheduled to undergo a medical procedure tomorrow.
City Councilwoman JoAnn Watson joined the organizers and got together in downtown Detroit on Wednesday and prayed for Aretha Franklin. Aretha Franklin was not present at the vigil, but in a statement she thanked the City Council, saying “all prayers are good.”
You may remember last month when Aretha Franklin announced that she was canceling all concert and appearances through May 2011 based on advice from her doctors.
UPDATE - - Aretha Franklin is “recovering and her spirits are high,” according to the Reverend Jesse Jackson.
The civil rights leader visited Lady Soul at the undisclosed hospital where she is recovering from surgery. Jackson also tells The Detroit News, “She’s doing very well. She’s very prayerful. She’s a woman full of deep religious faith.” There’s still no word from Franklin’s representatives as to the nature of her surgery or where it took place.
