‘Pretty Little Baby’ Singer Connie Francis Hospitalized For ‘Extreme Pain,’ Cancels Appearance

Connie Francis is dealing with a health struggle that landed her in the hospital.

On Tuesday, July 2, radio performer Bruce “Cousin Brucie” Morrow revealed the 87-year-old retired pop singer — whose 1962 hit “Pretty Little Baby” recently went viral on TikTok — was hospitalized and shared a statement from her via Facebook.

“Hello Everyone — As many of you may now have learned through Cousin Brucie’s Facebook page, I am back in hospital where I have been undergoing tests and checks to determine the cause(s) of the extreme pain I have been experiencing,” Francis explained in the statement.

The “Stupid Cupid” singer also noted she would not be able to take part in the 89-year-old WABC radio personality’s 4th of July special on the station.

“I had hoped to take part in Brucie’s show for Independence Day, having had to cancel a previous slot a few weeks ago when receiving treatment on my hip,” she admitted.

“Sadly, I had to let him know that I again had to withdraw. My thanks for your many get well soon messages. I will endeavor to keep you updated. Love, Connie.”

Later that day, Francis shared an update on her own Facebook page.

“I am pleased to advise that following a series of tests and examinations in Intensive Care, I have now been transferred to a private room,” she wrote. “Thank you all for your kind thoughts, words and prayers. They mean so much!”

Francis’ hospitalization comes after she told her Facebook followers on Wednesday, June 25, that she had discomfort in her pelvis but thankfully found the source.

“I have undergone tests to determine the cause of pelvic pain on my rigft [sic] side and have been advised that this is due to a fracture,” she posted on the app. “It looks like I may have to rely on my wheelchair a little longer than anticipated. Sorry Cousin Brucie that I won’t be able to make it for your show on Saturday.”

Francis has recently experienced a revival in her stardom after her  track “Pretty Little Baby” exploded on TikTok this year — more than 60 years after its release.

“My thanks to TikTok and its members for the wonderful, and oh so unexpected, reception given to ‘Pretty Little Baby,’ ” she wrote in a Facebook post in May. “Ron called to advise me that I had ‘a viral hit.’ Clearly out of touch with present day music statistics terminology, my initial response was to ask: ‘What’s that?’ Thank you everyone!”
