Roberta Flack: — It reveals a serious illness

American singer Roberta Flack, 85, has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

This was reported by many media, among others diverse.

Flack’s manager confirms to AP News that the illness prevents her from performing because it limits her ability to speak. It is not clear how long ago Flack contracted the disease.

“It will take more than ALS to silence this code,” the director says in a statement, and continues:

“Miss Flack plans to remain active in both her music and her creative endeavors. Her strength and joyful embrace of music that took her from humble circumstances into the global spotlight is still alive and inspiring.”

In 2016, the artist suffered a stroke, and two years later she became severely ill during a concert.

The announcement of ALS comes ahead of the premiere of “Roberta,” a documentary about the artist’s long life in the industry.

Ellen (22 years old) will die soon

Flack is behind songs like “Killing Me Softly With His Song” and “The First Time Ever Ever Ever Long Your Face.”
