Despite claims to the contrary, Beyoncé Knowles has remained completely silent since the birth of Blue Ivy earlier this month, refusing to give interviews to anyone about anything, until now.
In the wake of legendary soul singer Etta James' death, Beyoncé posted a special tribute message to Etta on her official website.
Bey portrayed Etta in the 2008 film Cadillac Records and the pair appeared together on the red carpet of the film's premiere.
'This is a huge loss. Etta James was one of the greatest vocalists of our time. I am so fortunate to have met such a queen. Her musical contributions will last a lifetime.
'Playing Etta James taught me so much about myself, and singing her music inspired me to be a stronger artist. When she effortlessly opened her mouth, you could hear her pain and triumph. Her deeply emotional way of delivering a song told her story with no filter. She was fearless, and had guts. She will be missed.'
