Aretha Franklin Home After Surgery

The Queen of Soul is home after surgery. We've got the deets when you read on...

We told you earlier that Aretha Franklin was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Now we can report the queen underwent a "highly successful" surgery in a Detroit hospital. Aretha released a statement shortly after saying,

"I've been at home for almost three days now, my family and friends who brought me home are taking great care of me. I also have a private nurse who visits on a daily basis. I'm hoping to be strong enough to go out and see the upcoming Sam Cooke play at the Music Hall in downtown Detroit before Jan. 2, as well as a performance of 'Dreamgirls' at the FOX before it closes,"

Let's hope the Queen gets better soon.
