Sad news that Etta James has Alzheimer's disease, as well as a bacterial infection (the superbug MRSA that's resistant to many antibiotics) that's had her battling sepsis and fighting for life this week in Riverside Community Hospital in LA. Her son says the Alzheimer's was diagnosed last year when she was in drug rehab. The blues legend is 72, last seen bashing Beyonce's portrayal of her in Cadillac Records and, according to her son, will be discharged form the hospital into a nursing home.
