NEW YORK (AP) — Aretha Franklin is home from the hospital — and she's already making plans for the holidays.
In a statement released Wednesday, the Queen of
Soul said she's been home for three days and her family and friends are taking
great care of her. Franklin says she also has a private nurse who checks on her
every day.
She also says she's hoping to see a play about Sam
Cooke in her hometown of Detroit soon and to see the production of
"Dreamgirls" there before it closes this month.
Franklin had surgery for an ailment she has not
disclosed. She says her doctors deemed the operation "highly
successful."
Franklin was forced to cancel concerts recently
because of illness.
