Report: Blues Legend Etta James Gravely Ill

The prognosis doesn’t look good for R&B legend Etta James.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer requires constant care to help with even basic tasks, which is extremely sad. We wish her only the best. Mills is asking for a court to transfer James’ assets to a joint account so that he can run things, while Etta’s son is asking a third party to do so.
