In 2008, Natalie was diagnosed with hepatitis C and underwent a kidney transplant a year later. In her 2010 memoir Love Brought Me Back: A Journey of Loss and Gain, she reveals her doctor told her that her past heroin abuse could have spurred her to contract the disease, which remained dormant in her body for more than 20 years.
Cole had been sick for some time, cancelling several tour dates in late December including a New Year’s Eve concert and a February concert.
