Overview
The news was first broken by the supermarket tabloid The National Enquirer, which said that the 68-year-old queen of soul had been diagnosed by doctors when she broke her hip in a summer fall.
In November, the icon's publicist announced that she had canceled all her performances through May 2011.
Last week the singer said she was doing well after having an operation for an unspecified ailment. 'The surgery was highly successful,' Franklin said in a statement. 'God is still in control.'
Thursday's report quoted her cousin Brenda Corbett as saying that Franklin was in good spirits and 'doing really really good.'
