Etta James Still Hospitalized

Etta James remained hospitalized in Southern California at press time.

The 72-year-old R&B singer is recovering from sepsis, and her manager said she is stable.

James entered a treatment program to shake a dependency on painkillers and was transferred to the hospital when her condition worsened.

Her son, Donto James, recently told CNN his mother is battling Alzheimer’s and has contracted the potentially fatal MRSA virus.
