Singer Etta James still hospitalized in California
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Etta James' manager said the R&B singer remains hospitalized in Southern California as she recovers from sepsis, an infection.
Lupe De Leon said Monday that James is stable and he doesn't know when the 72-year-old singer will be released from the Riverside Community Hospital.
Her son, Donto James, said Friday that his mother has been hospitalized for about a week with sepsis caused by a urinary tract infection.
She entered a treatment program to shake a dependency on painkillers and was transferred to the hospital when her condition worsened.
Etta James, who sang everything from blues to jazz, is best known for the hit ``At Last.''
Beyonce portrayed her and sang the song in the film ``Cadillac Records'' and at an inaugural ball for President Barack Obama.
