As she readies the release of her latest music project, Grammy Award-winning diva Natalie Cole announced that she has been diagnosed with hepatitis C today.
“I’ve been so fortunate to have learned so much from my past experiences,” the ‘This Will Be’ singer said in a statement.
“I am embraced by the love and support of my family and friends; I am committed to my belief in myself and in my abiding faith to meet this challenge with a heartfelt optimism and determination,” she continued. “This is how I intend to deal with this current challenge in my life.”
Hepatitis C is a liver disease spread through contact with infected blood.
The disease was revealed during a routine examination and was likely caused by her excessive drug use years ago, which was subsequently chronicled in her 2000 autobiography, ‘Angel on My Shoulder’.
