The video, while sincere, had a glaring issue. At around the 3:30 mark, there’s an image of Franklin with the text “1942 ― 2018.” Transposed on that image in the upper right corner is a photo of a woman singing. A fast glance would lead you to believe it’s Franklin. It’s not. It’s the legendary singer Patti LaBelle. The photo is from LaBelle’s 2014 performance of “Over The Rainbow” for then-President Barack Obama.
Fox News later apologized for the error.
“We sincerely apologize to Aretha Franklin’s family and friends,” spokeswoman Jessica Santostefano said 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.”
