Aretha Franklin to remarry at 69
The Sowetan reports that an obese Aretha Franklin, now aged 69, has got engaged to her long-time companion William 'Willie' Wilkerson and plans to get married on a yacht in Miami Beach, Florida sometime in the coming summer.
Franklin has been married twice before, first to her former manager, Ted White during the 1960s and then to actor Glynn Turman; that marriage ended in 1984 after just five years.
She is still performing even though she had an operation last year for an undisclosed ailment.
