I keep seeing mentions of Etta James' declining health due to leukemia, and that she is not long for this world. Keep a good thought that those are just rumors. Doesn't seem like it though.

She hung on for a month after the first reports of her failing health, but Etta James has now passed on. Guess she was waiting for Johnny Otis to go, too.
