t seems the mystery illness that has sidelined music legend Aretha Franklin from the stage until May is much more serious than gout or a bad case of heartburn.

In fact, the Queen of Soul could be in for the fight of her life.

The Snitch Circuit is abuzz this Wednesday with whispers that Franklin has been diagnosed with advanced (Read: Inoperable and Incurable) pancreatic cancer.

The National Enquirer claims doctors made the glum diagnosis after Aretha broke her ribs in a shower fall over the summer. Tabloid tattles claim the “Respect” singer has been given less than a year to live, with her advanced age (She’s 68..) and massive weight lowering her odds of recovery.

Because she wouldn't disclose the reason, we can only guess! I would say it was probably a heart condition.

Hi, jen2684. Yes, this is what has been in the news for the last few days, but when this question was asked it was 9 days ago, and the question was, what do you think etc.. Nobody knew what her ailment was at the time. In any case, thanks for the link.

The Queen of soul has pancreatic cancer. That's bad news. However, her's was operable, that's the good news. But P.C. sucks!

I'm thinking weight loss surgery of some kind. She's always been a larger woman, and at her age I bet her weight is leading to other problems and that weight loss surgery was suggested for her.

It is very hard to see this happen, to anybody, but to not have any privacy when dealing with such hard times, does not make it any easier.

Here are some other reputable sources that claim she does have pancreatic cancer.

LA Times
