That is just one of the many tributes that came Monday after reports of Aretha Franklin being “gravely ill”.

The latest report from CNN as of Tuesday morning is that the singer is in hospice care at her home.

"She has a great family, she's surrounded by love, and the world is sending prayers” Showbiz 411's Roger Friedman told CNN. “All further announcements will be made by her family. We just want to send love and prayers."

Everyone from President Bill Clinton to Missy Elliott offered prayers to the Queen of Soul on Monday. The “Respect” singer is 76 years old and has been in declining health for the past couple years. She last performed publicly in November during an event for Elton John’s AIDS Foundation.

Like people all around the world, Hillary and I are thinking about Aretha Franklin tonight & listening to her music that has been such an important part of our lives the last 50 years. We hope you’ll lift her up by listening and sharing her songs that have meant the most to you.

I am so sorry to hear of Aretha’s failing health.  She is not just the Queen of Soul; Aretha is an American Treasure.  I am praying that she recovers and for the peace & hope of those closest to her.  @ArethaFranklin#arethafranklin #aretha #queenofsoul #americantreasurepic.twitter.com/Ipu8Z56C5t
