Blues singer Etta James, who is terminally ill battling leukemia, has been released from the hospital, sources say.
The 73-year-old had been hospitalized since late December having difficulty breathing. James is battling the final stages of leukemia, and also suffers from kidney disease and dementia.
She was on a respirator for two weeks until she was strong enough to breathe on her own, her manager Lupe De Leon told the Associated Press.
James was in stable condition but reportedly communicating only with nods and simple words.
In recent years, James’ health has been on the decline. She has been hospitalized multiples times.
Etta James is best known for her 1961 hit “At Last.” She has won three Grammy awards and is a prominent figure in R&B music.
