Gladys Knight shows up looking pretty rough at Aretha's funeral.

Gladys Knight looked liked she just rolled out of a dumpster to attend Ms. Franklin's big funeral.

She's 74 now but surely she could have dolled up a little to attend and perform at the funeral.

Gladys baby, those big plastic surgery lips almost devoid of lipstick don't help!

Gladys said she had the same disease as Aretha but then her publicist immediately walked it back. Hmm. Hope she is ok.

The few celebrities who did manage to show up for that embarrassing funeral are getting attacked for every reason under the sun. Now I know why the Obamas, Oprah and Lebron decided to skip it. They saw how poorly planned it was and stayed home. The performers were treated like shit.

You ain't seen nothin - Dionne at Lena's funeral in 2010. LH would have pretended not to know her.....actually, they were only acquaintances anyway.

Is she currently suffering from it or did they catch it in time? As for the rough part, she’s 74 op. Everyone ages unless you die young and beautiful.

In 1997 Gladys was baptized in The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints, the Mormon Church.

A few months ago Dataloungers were giving their expert opinions on how many plastic surgery procedures, Gladys Knight had done. Now you're shitting on her for looking like a 70 yr old woman. So essentially you're determined to shit on her regardless of what she does or how she looks.

OP is an ugly jealous ass. Gladys always looks pretty. She did look and sound a bit frail though. Don't leave us.

R2, I'm pretty sure the Obamas had somewhere else thy had to be.

Moms Mabley used to refer to "Gladys Knight and the Pimps."

Gladys has been at the US Open in New York late so probably just rolled into Motown early today. One of the greatest distinctive voices of all time.

Does she still sing about MEN in her 70s ?

Looks like the midnight train to Georgia laid some tracks on her face....

OP, maybe you should stop trolling the board with Gladys Knight threads. JL is not too pleased.

R8 Sweetheart, Gladys is 74 now (not 70).

You better start appreciating her while we still got her.

Gladys has pancreatic cancer. OP should suffer 1/10th as much.

Thank you for the video, R13. I used to own the sequined Bolero jacket she is wearing in it. It's an Oleg Cassini, silk chiffon, which was originally paired with a gorgeous matching black-silk shoulderless sheath dress, with a black sequined silk chiffon overlay, exquisitely fitted. Wish I would have kept it.

It's thought John List was a fan of Gladys Knight and the Pips.

Gladys did the unforgivable as far as Aretha was concerned. In her book, Gladys discussed the travails of Aretha's mother and Aretha shut her out of her life even though they were childhood friends. There is the show that Oprah did for her 50th birthday that had Aretha and Gladys sharing the stage and Aretha never even looked at her for the whole time they sat across from each other. A broadly smiling Gladys was trying to get her to acknowledge her presence, but Aretha wasn't having it. I don't think they ever really made up, but who knows?

She looks fine in the picture OP links.
