Prayer Vigil For Franklin Before 'Medical Procedure'

Ailing soul queen Aretha Franklin has thanked fans who took part in a community prayer vigil in Detroit, Michigan on Wednesday (01Dec10) following reports she is preparing for a "medical procedure".

The I Say A Little Prayer hitmaker was ordered by doctors to cancel all concert dates and personal appearances scheduled between now and May (11), including a Christmas concert in her adopted hometown of Detroit on 9 December (10).

Her most devoted followers joined city council official JoAnn Watson to organise a community meeting in the city to pray for Franklin's health following reports she is set to return to hospital for an unknown procedure on Thursday (02Dec10).

After hearing of the vigil, Franklin released a statement, saying, "All prayers are good."

There are no further details of Franklin's condition as WENN goes to press.
