Aretha Franklin has died at the age of 76 from advanced pancreatic cancer. Franklin’s publicist Gwendolyn Quinn revealed an official family statement to the Associated Press:

“Franklin’s official cause of death was due to advanced pancreatic cancer of the neuroendocrine type, which was confirmed by Franklin’s oncologist, Dr. Philip Phillips of Karmanos Cancer Institute. In one of the darkest moments of our lives, we are not able to find the appropriate words to express the pain in our heart. We have lost the matriarch and rock of our family. The love she had for her children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins knew no bounds.

We have been deeply touched by the incredible outpouring of love and support we have received from close friends, supporters and fans all around the world. Thank you for your compassion and prayers. We have felt your love for Aretha and it brings us comfort to know that her legacy will live on. As we grieve, we ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time.”

Alice In Chains singer/guitarist William DuVall and other rockers paid tribute on social media.

Undoubtedly one of the greatest of ALL time, RIP #ArethaFranklin
