Connie Francis' death no shock

Connie Francis' relatives “” expected “her death.
The experienced musician died on Wednesday evening (07/16/25) at the age of 87, just a few weeks after she told the fans that she had been hospitalized due to “extreme pain”, and Ron Roberts, her friend and president of her label Concetta Records, told how his buddy had been from the decline in the past few weeks.
Ron told People Magazine: “Unfortunately, we expected it … You couldn't find out where the pain was exactly.”
Connie had, although it was only a problem with her hip, “that she had had had for some time”.
The “Who is sorry now?” Singer had maintained a positive attitude until the end.
Ron, Connie, a “fighter,” said Ron: “It was two months with the most extreme than the most extreme deep.”
The singer was able to leave the hospital a few days before her death, but she began to “deteriorate” and was passed out for at least the last two days of her life.
Ron said, “She slipped away peacefully.”
From the last time they spoke, he added: “She was obviously in pain and she was very weak. She was in the hospital for a good week at that time. She was tired. [Having all the tests done] Is weak. “
Despite her declining health, Connie had been beaten in the past few months due to her 1962 track Pretty Little Baby.
Ron said: “This is the incredible story. I think she left this world as a big star [as she ever was]. “
When asked how Connie would be remembered, her friend believes that she would be satisfied with the line: “I hope I did it well.”
He added: “She would get a kick from seeing that [written]. “
Connie – whose real name Concetta was Franconero – rose to fame in the 1950s and scored a series of chart hits, including stupid cupid, lipstick on her collar, which is now apologizing and where the boys are.
Her cover of WHO Tat now helps to drive her to fame after it was presented to Dick Clark's American bandstand in 1958, and it sold more than a million copies and scored a goal in Great Britain.
Connie's career was decreased at the end of 1960 and the following decade was determined by a number of personal tragedies.
She was raped in a Long Island Motel Room in 1974 and three years later she temporarily lost her voice after undergoing a nose operation.
Connie tried to stage a career comeback in 1981, but her brother George was murdered by the mafia and her work was hindered by fighting fighting fights, with her father committed to several psychiatric institutions.
Outside the ramp light, the singer was married four times, but only one of her unions lasted more than a year.
Her marriage from 1964 with Dick Kanellis ended after five months with her second, with Izzy Marion in 1971 and ended in divorce 10 months later.
Connie's longest marriage was her third, with Joseph Garzilli – with whom she adopted the son Joseph Jr. – and lasted from 1973 to 1977. Her fourth union with Bob Parkinson in 1985 also lasted only a few months.
