We are so saddened to find out that we lost one of the greatest OG divas of all time very recently. The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, died surrounded by loved ones just this Thursday at age 76 due to advanced pancreatic cancer of the neuroendocrine type as mentioned in a family statement.

She may have gone from this world but her music and legacy has lived and will live on forever. 

Celebrities and musicians were quick to give their condolences and tribute over Twitter, sharing to the world her massive influence on the modern music industry and social culture.

It is enough proof of her long-lasting legacy that her songs continuously get covered by younger artists but just recently, after her passing, her music hits top of the charts with 'Respect' sitting at number one.

There is no better way to remember this influential, beautiful, and majestic queen than through her music. Our hearts go out to Aretha Franklin and her family. May your music live on forever.
