Etta James in the hospital
Get well wishes to an amazing lady.
Etta James Hospitalized in Los Angeles
By Associated Press
LOS ANGELES - Etta James was in stable condition Thursday after being hospitalized for complications from abdominal surgery she had last month, her manager said.
The 69-year-old blues singer was being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
"Her condition is stabilized" but she had to cancel upcoming tour dates with B.B. King and Al Green, her manager, Lupe De Leon, said in an e-mail.
De Leon did not indicate when James was admitted but said the hospitalization was caused by "post-op complications" from her mid-June surgery. The complications and the nature of the surgery were not specified.
The Grammy Award-winning singer was "extremely disappointed" at having to cancel appearances, De Leon said.
"If it had been left solely up to her, she would have checked herself out of the hospital and started the tour regardless of her delicate health," De Leon said. "However, her doctor advised that were she to do so, it would put her at very great risk."
"We feel confident (that) by postponing her participation until Aug. 23, she will be in good shape to put on the kind of performance that Etta James' fans know and love," De Leon said.
During her 50-year career, James has scored a string of hits that include "At Last," "Trust in Me" and "A Sunday Kind of Love."

Best wishes to Etta. She's really dropped some weight recently, hasn't she? I hope that's a good sign for her.

sounds like you don't know that the reason she's in the hospital is due to complications from the "stomach-stapling" (wight-loss inducing) abdominal surgery she had last month.

Oops, I guess it's not a good sign for her. She does look emaciated compared to her old chubby yet spirited self.

Etta James was on Tavis Smiley tonight. It was taped right before the Playboy Jazz Festival. I think she look great and she sang At Last.

Susan Tedeschi steps in for Etta James at JVC Jazz Festival-Newport
By M&C News Jul 27, 2007, 12:06 GMT
Newport RI - Festival Productions has just announced that the JVC Jazz Festival-Newport, scheduled for the weekend of August 10, 11, and 12, has added the multi-talented blues singer and guitarist Susan Tedeschi to the Sunday, August 12 lineup at Fort Adams State Park. Susan fills in for Etta James who recently canceled her entire East coast tour, due to illness.
In the years since she captured the public's musical imagination with her 1998 breakthrough album ‘Just Won't Burn,’ Susan Tedeschi has established a formidable reputation as a deeply expressive singer, a prodigiously talented guitarist and distinctive songwriter.
She's won a large and loyal audience for her ability to craft elements of classic blues, rock, R&B, folk and gospel into a distinctly individual style that honors rootsy musical traditions without being subservient to them. Last year, Susan opened for Etta James at the JVC Jazz Festival in New York; her hot new CD, just released is entitled ‘Hope and Desire.’
