Two days before she was hospitalized, a California judge ruled that James’ husband since 1969, Artis Mills, will remain conservator of her million-dollar estate. On December 15, James’ doctors announced that the singer’s leukemia was terminal and requested prayers from her family and fans.
Our sincere thoughts and prayers go out to James and her family.
