Eight-time Grammy winner Natalie Cole, 58, hasn’t
thrown in the towel on her career. In fact, she’s giving
life everything she has.
The acclaimed singer "gets real” with Jet magazine
and opens up about being diagnosed with hepatitis C as
well as how she’s coping with kidney failure. “I hope
nobody 1 know gets it. I hope they find a cure,” she said.
Despite her illness, Cole says she still wants to look
her best at all times.
“Honey, I can’t be looking sick and be looking bad.
Some things are not acceptable. You got to roll with it,”
she said.
Jet’s Dec. 8 issue is currently on sale.
