Soul music legend Aretha Franklin has been hospitalised since Saturday due to an undisclosed illness, the singer's publicist says.
The Queen of Soul, who resides in Detroit and turns 62 on Thursday, was listed in stable condition, said spokeswoman Gwendolyn Quinn. No further information about Franklin's condition or whereabouts was immediately available.
The Memphis-born performer, who sprang to fame in the 1960s with such hits as "Respect," "Think" and "A Natural Woman," earned a Grammy in February for best traditional R&B vocal performance on "Wonderful," a single off her latest release "So Damn Happy."
She also completed a nationwide concert tour, "The Queen is On," last year
