QUEEN of Soul Aretha Franklin is pooh-poohing her sudden shocking weight loss, but fans fear the scary-skinny 75-year-old legend is knocking on heaven’s door!
While some insiders insist the R&B diva behind the super-hit Respect has lost a staggering 200 pounds during a battle with a deadly disease, Aretha tells GLOBE: “That’s ludicrous,” revealing she’s shed “60 pounds — 30 of which I want to get back.”
After taking in her old wardrobe, the longtime Detroit resident dishes, “all of my new gowns have been altered one size for the new size.”
