Natalie Cole Has Hepatitis C

A statement released by Natalie Cole's publicist says the liver disease Hepatitis C, spread through contact with infected blood, was revealed to Natalie during a routine check-up and was likely caused by her excessive drug use in years past. You didn't know Nat "King" Cole's daughter used to be a serious druggie? She wrote all about it in her autobiography, Angel on My Shoulder. And please believe, if they'd had Internet back in the day, Natalie would have been an online star to rival the likes of DMX and Whitney Houston.
