Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin was discharged from a Detroit hospital this week for the undisclosed illness that is said to be cancer from the reports.

Aretha states:

“I’ve been at home for almost three days now. My family and friends who brought me home are taking great care of me. I also have a private nurse who visits on a daily basis.”

Aretha’s cousin Brenda Corbett told a Detroit newspaper that the singer is “doing better than the doctors expected”  and that “she has a long life ahead of her ” and will return to the stage late spring or early summer next year.

We now have a full statement from R&B singer Keith Washington that we obtained from Newsone.  It gives us his side of the story regarding accusations that he purposely taped a private conversation he had with Aretha Franklin on Nov. 8 in his Kiss 105.9 Detroit radio studio.

The news outlets made quite a stir about it has if he truly betrayed his good friend Aretha Franklin. We reported the facts as we saw it when we reviewed the video tape of the private conversation. We felt he did not mean anything by it because Detroit people are usually very close and tight-knit.
