Here's some sadness: Etta James treated for leukaemia

[dbt]

US blues legend Etta James has been diagnosed with dementia and is undergoing treatment for leukaemia.

The 72-year-old's health problems came to light in court documents filed by her husband, Artis Mills, who is seeking control of her finances.

Mr Mills claims the singer, known for her hit ballad At Last, has become too sick to manage her own money.

A doctor has also stated the star needs help with eating, dressing and cannot sign her own name.

9. She OWNS that song. The Temptations did a great take on it, but she owns that baby.

So bittersweet and right to the heart.
