Respect for Aretha’s new look
QUEEN of soul Aretha Franklin shows off her trim new figure as she wows fans at what could be one of her last concerts.
Aretha, 75, ignored a chair placed on the stage to perform for 90 minutes and thrill a crowd at the Mann Center in Philadelphia with hits including an encore of Respect. Aretha told a Detroit radio station in February: “I must tell you, I’m retiring this year.”
In more than 50 years as a superstar, she has won 18 Grammy awards, sold more than 75million records and sung at three presidential inaugurations.
