The Queen of Soul passed away on the 16th of August at the age of 76 following a battle with pancreatic cancer.

She is expected to be laid to rest on the 31st of August at the Greater Grace Church in Detroit.

Aretha’s publicist has now confirmed that a star-studded line-up will perform at the 18-time Grammy Award winner’s funeral, including Stevie Wonder, Jennifer Hudson, Faith Hill, Chaka Khan, Ron Isley, Fantasia, and Yolanda Adams.

Wonder was amongst the few who visited Miss Franklin just days prior to her death when reports revealed that she was gravely ill, while Jennifer is expected to portray a young Aretha in a forthcoming biopic.

The funeral will be limited to friends and family, but the public will have an opportunity to pay their respect to the late singer when her casket will up for viewing at Detroit’s Museum of African-American History in the days leading up to the ceremony.

]]> NBC confirmed on Friday that Jennifer Hudson will return as a coach for season 15 of their reality singing competition The Voice, after previously serving in the same role for season 13 of the show.

She will be joined by Kelly Clarkson, who will also be back after coaching in season 14, meaning that The Voice will have American Idol-inspired coaching lineup. Hudson was the finalist in season three of the competition, while Clarkson was the show’s inaugural winner. The season 15 coaching panel will be completed by the show’s veterans, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.

“We are so excited to welcome back Kelly and Jennifer, two dynamic forces who bring undeniable soul, passion and inspiration as coaches,” said NBC alternative program chief Paul Telegdy in a statement. “They each have a unique understanding of what it’s like to be in the artists’ shoes.”

Both Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson posted videos on their Twitter profiles confirming the news.

“I wanted to tell you all a little secret,” says Hudson in a video posted on Clarkson’s Twitter profile. “Guess what! Does she know? She might not know, but she gonna find out when she looks at her phone. Guess who’s coming back to The Voice? Me!”

“Team JHud and Team KC, we’re comin’ after you, Adam and Blake. We’re friends, but we’re future frenemies,” says Clarkson in a video posted on Hudson’s Twitter profile.

Season 14 of The Voice is currently airing, with the finale being scheduled for May 22nd. Kelly Clarkson still might get a win in her rookie season, since Kaleb Lee and Brynn Cartelli from Team Kelly are still in the running for the grand prize.
