Etta James and Beyonce

Etta James has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease and is hospitalized in Southern California with an infection, CNN has reported quoting the singer's son. It seems that 72 years old Etta has been at Riverside Community Hospital for about a week and is recovering from sepsis caused by a urinary tract infection.
Too bad Etta's health was generally bad after she battled an addiction to heroin. She even entered a treatment program last month for a dependency on painkillers and over-the-counter medicine.
While suffering from dementia Etta made some upsetting comments on Beyonce, who played the singer in the 2008 film 'Cadillac Records'. She said that Beyonce should be “whipped” for singing “At Last” for President Obama’s inaugural ball.
