Aretha Franklin Calls Off Her Wedding


Barely two weeks after announcing her engagement to long time boyfriend Willie Wilkerson [click here if you missed that], Aretha Franklin has called it off...

In a statement released to the press Aretha writes,
'Regretfully, To Our Friends and Supporters: Will and I have decided we were moving a little too fast, and there were a number of things that had not been thought through thoroughly. There will be no wedding at this time.

'We will not comment on it any further because of the very personal and sensitive nature of it. We appreciate all of the many well wishes from friends.'
The note was signed Aretha and Will
