LOS ANGELES (AP) — Blues singer Etta James was in stable condition Thursday after being hospitalized for complications from abdominal surgery she had last month, her manager said.James, 69, was being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
"Her condition is stabilized" but she had to cancel upcoming tour dates with B.B. King and Al Green, her manager, Lupe De Leon, said in an e-mail.
De Leon did not indicate when James was admitted but said the hospitalization was caused by "post-op complications" from her mid-June surgery. The complications and the nature of the surgery were not specified.
The Grammy Award-winning singer was "extremely disappointed" at having to cancel appearances, De Leon said.
"If it had been left solely up to her, she would have checked herself out of the hospital and started the tour regardless of her delicate health," De Leon said. "However, her doctor advised that were she to do so, it would put her at very great risk."
"We feel confident (that) by postponing her participation until Aug. 23, she will be in good shape to put on the kind of performance that Etta James' fans know and love," De Leon said.
During her 50-year career, James has scored a string of hits that include At Last, Trust In Me and Sunday Kind of Love.

i love christina, but wtf is up with her elvis lip
that like
OoOOOOoOoOoooeoeoeoEOEOeoeoeoeoeoe oh oh at LAstststsaaaaaaaaaatatataatststssoeoeoeo thing
JUST SING THE WORDS STOP DROOLING THEM OUT
but then again, I'm in love with CA.
but either way, I would have loved it no less even if it was britney singing (well...maybe not her, but like beyonce or mariah or anyone)
I think b/c we're all so used to the vocal gymnastics.
At least Christina knew who Etta James was, from the beginning of her career she has always name dropped her as her inspiration.
How many other pop tarts can drop anyone besides Madonna, Janet or Celine Dion...phush
Fuckin' christ--is she serious? We get it, you can sing! Woop dee doo! She has a great voice, but hot damn--enough with the ornamentation.
She'd have a fine voice if she'd realize that the scale hopping was done in SOME parts of SOME songs when you were really *feeling* it. Not just as a space filler.
This version makes me hate her a little.
i hope she pulls through.
