What’s wrong with Gladys Knight? Is she sick?
Gladys Knight, a famous soul singer, said that she has pancreatic cancer. This is the same disease that killed her friend and fellow soul icon Aretha Franklin.
But the singer’s rep denied the report a few hours after she talked about her health. “Gladys doesn’t have pancreatic cancer,” Jay Schwartz, who works for Knight, said later. “She’s fine!”
According to WDIV, a local TV station in Detroit, Michigan, Knight told people at the Queen of Soul’s service at Greater Grace Temple that he had “the same illness” as Franklin.
In a statement to Rolling Stone sent by Schwartz, Knight made clear what had gone wrong. She wanted to make it clear that she and Aretha had talked about having cancer and that Gladys had stage 1 breast cancer and Aretha had pancreatic cancer.
As of right now, she seems to be in good spirits and is still actively making music at the age of 78.
