The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, 68, reportedly is suffering from cancer.
According to Detroit TV station WJBK FOX 2, a relative of the singer disclosed that Franklin is suffering from the disease. Another relative reportedly said the family is very concerned for the music legend.
A report from the Detroit News claimed that Franklin has pancreatic cancer, according to a source familiar with the situation.
A rep for the singer was not immediately available for comment. Franklin last week had what was described as a successful surgery for an undisclosed ailment.
"The surgery was highly successful," the music icon said in a statement to Access Hollywood at the time. "God is still in control. I had superb doctors and nurses whom were blessed by all the prayers of the city and the country. God bless you all for your prayers!"
Last month, the multi Grammy-winning music legend announced that she was canceling all concert dates and personal appearances through May.
