Washington
(ANI):
Ailing
singer
Natalie
Cole
recently
underwent
a
life-saving
kidney
transplant
surgery
in
Los
Angeles,
and
was
"resting
comfortably," according
to
her
representative.
The
59-year-old
has
been
suffering
from
kidney
failure,
caused
by
the
hepatitis
C
she
contracted
during
her
time
as
an
intravenous
heroin
user.
The
eight-time
Grammy
Award-winner,
who
has
been
getting
treated
since
September
last
year,
had
been
put
on
a
waiting
list
for
a
replacement
organ.
"The
kidney
came
from
a
deceased
organ
donor
through
the
regional
organ
procurement
agency,
One
Legacy," People
magazine
quoted
her
rep
as
saying
in
a
statement.
Cole
is
expected
to
recuperate
for
the
next
three
to
four
months
and
is
allegedly
planning
to
re-arrange
her
summer
tour
dates
in
support
of
her
album
Still
Unforgettable.
