Death reason of singer Connie Francis known for hit song 'Pretty Little Baby'
In a heartbreaking announcement made on Thursday, July 17, Connie Francis' friend and manager, Ron Roberts, confirmed the passing of the iconic singer at the age of 87. Francis, known for her chart-topping hits like "Pretty Little Baby" and "Where the Boys Are," died following a short illness and a series of health complications related to a pelvic fracture.
For several weeks before her death, Francis had been hospitalized due to extreme pain caused by the fracture in her pelvic area. In her later years, she had been using a wheelchair and had described living with a "troublesome painful hip" after surgery for a hip injury earlier in the year. Despite hospital stays and ongoing medical observation attempting to determine the exact cause of her pain, the precise cause of her death has not been publicly disclosed.
Just a few days before her passing, Francis shared a health update, expressing her gratitude to her fans for their prayers and well wishes. The news of her passing was met with sadness from her friends and fans, many of whom were introduced to her music through a viral TikTok trend that saw a resurgence of her 1962 track, Pretty Little Baby.
Earlier this month, Francis was hospitalized, forcing her to cancel a planned performance for the July 4 Independence Day celebrations. Despite the setback, she remained positive, admitting to being "thrilled and overwhelmed" by the new love the song was receiving. Remarkably, Francis revealed that she did not remember the song before its resurgence on TikTok, 63 years after its initial release.
Connie Francis, born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1938, began her music career in the 1950s and quickly rose to fame with hits like "Who's Sorry Now?" and "Stupid Cupid." Over the years, she continued to captivate audiences with her powerful voice and emotive performances, solidifying her place as a music legend.
