Natalie Cole Diagnosed With Hepatitis C

Grammy Award-winning Singer Natalie Cole, 58, has been diagnosed with Hepatitis C. The disease was discovered during a routine examination. Her doctors said she is suffering from fatigue, muscle aches and dehydration - side effects from the treatment for Hepatitis C.

Natalie Cole, daughter of crooner Nat King Cole, is thought to have contracted the potentially deadly virus from her past addiction to LSD, cocaine and heroin before becoming clean of drugs in 1984 following a long stay in rehab.

Natalie Cole said: “I’ve been so fortunate to have learned so much from my past experiences. 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. This is how I intend to deal with this current challenge in my life.”
