The Queen of Soul is reportedly gravely ill in a Detroit hospital.

Aretha Franklin, 76, has been battling several health problems in recent years.

She was reportedly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2011, but denied the reports.

Her latest performance was at an AIDS benefit last November.

Following doctor’s orders, Franklin cancelled several performances since last summer, including the New Orleans Jazz Fest in April.

But her last public performance was at The Mann Center in Philadelphia in August of last year.

Back in October 2015, Aretha Franklin was scheduled to perform in Tulsa, but canceled.
