The Queen of Soul is back! Aretha Franklin said that her health issues were taken care of and that she was doing well in an interview with Jet.

"I don't have to talk about my health with anybody other than my doctors. The problem has been resolved."

She added that she does not speak publicly about her personal health, but appreciated her fans for their support.
