Aretha Franklin Says Uncle: Even The Queen Of Soul Can't Take On That Detroit Heatwave!


Aretha Franklin cancels Detroit concert

By Aunt Kathy

The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin (65) said that the Detroit weather has been "sweltering and all but overwhelming."

An outdoor concert, set for today, was canceled and will be rescheduled.

Franklin said, "I am exhausted from the heat and cannot tolerate heat in these extremely high numbers and being in concert simultaneously.

We understand, and would offer our L.A. hospitality, but it's supposed to get hot here next week.
