Legendary singer Etta James has been released from a Southern California hospital and is back at home with her family, according to her manager. She is currently in the final stages of terminal leukemia and suffering from dementia.
“She is home with her husband and family by her side,” Lupe De Leon said. “Her condition remains stable.”
CNN reports the 73-year-old singer brought in the new year with her sons, Donto and Sametto James, by her side.
Paul Wright, a lawyer for her sons, said Sunday that the singer is “nearing the end of her time, but she’s a tough lady.”
Our thoughts and prayers go out to James and her family at this time.
