Dozens of people called in to see if they could be tested to determine of they could be a match and donate their Kidneys to singer Natalie Cole on Tuesday’s Larry King Show.
Cole shared her stories of drug abuse and being diagnosed with Hepatitis C back in February of 08. She said that her illnesses was due to her struggles with heroin and cocaine use and even went through chemotherapy to fight the virus.
"I couldn't breathe. I went into -- literally, my kidneys stopped functioning. They stopped, you know, processing the fluid that was starting to build up in my body," explained the singer.
Since the virus started wreaking havoc in her body, Cole has actively pursued searching for a donor but kept things under wraps and only now has come forth and made her illness public. Dozens of emails poured in last night and it seemed that Cole was completely overwhelmed by the generosity displayed by Larry King viewers.
Cole won six Grammy awards in 1991 for critically acclaimed record "Unforgettable With Love,” which was a tribute to her father, the great singer Nat King Cole. Through the magic of digital technology Ms. Cole was reunited for a singing duo with her long deceased father on the classic song “Unforgettable.” She won a Grammy this year for her new album "Still Unforgettable."
The staff at AuditionPortal.com wishes Natalie Cole a speedy recovery and much love.
