Scratch me off the list for pallbearers.

Actually, I believe diabeetus is considered a correct pronunciation of diabetes. Granted, he wasn't pronouncing it.

But its a play on Wilford Brimley (spelling?) and his infamous commercials.

It's gonna be a big coffin for sure. 🙁

 

[Kadarin]

It won't necessarily be a big coffin; if it's pancreatic cancer, she's now on the Steve Jobs / Patrick Swayze diet plan.

Kidding aside, I hope she's able to be ok.

This sucks. She has had an amazing career, her music has been part of my life since I was a child.

Exactly. It was a gut check when I heard it on the news.

Obesity does yield health problems - I wonder if that had something to do with it. Didn't Pavarotti have it too?

absolutely it does. you don't really find people with healthy lifestyles getting pancreatic cancer.
