Fox News has apologized for mistakingly using a photo of Patti LaBelle in its Aretha Franklin tribute Thursday.
“We sincerely apologize to Aretha Franklin’s family and friends,” Jessica Santostefano, Vice President, Media Desk at Fox News told TheWrap in a statement. “Our intention was to honor the icon using a secondary image of her performing with Patti LaBelle in the full screen graphic, but the image of Ms. Franklin was obscured in that process, which we deeply regret.”
The image featured Franklin in the foreground and LaBelle in the background.
The error was caught by online observers who noticed that the picture at the end of the obit featured LaBelle singing “Over the Rainbow” during a “Women of Soul: In Performance at the White House” special, which aired on PBS in 2014.

Fox didn’t stop and think about what they were trying to do to her.
That is funny. Though I would have no problem with a good Russian band or artist!
Yes, Queen’s performance is awesome that night.
#13 Is that a photo of Aretha?... : )
I’m just sending you a little prayer brother.
You thinking wrong.
