Aretha Franklin – Months Before Her Death, Gravely Thin While Playing Piano For Granddaughter [Rare Footage]

Just months before passing, Aretha Franklin appears to have lost a significant amount of weight. After the singer passed, her grand daughter posted a clip of her effortlessly playing the piano and singing.

In the two minute clip dated for March 17th, 2018, Aretha looks thin, but still upbeat. Reflecting on this sweet moment, her grand daughter writes

I have many memories of me coming into her home and she would be playing the piano and singing. Words can’t describe the pain I’m feeling, but God is telling me that she is at peace. Today we lost an icon, a legend, but today I lost my grandma. I love u and imma make u proud
