“At Last,” six-time Grammy Award winner Etta James is hanging up her microphone. After a half century of recording, the R&B legend, 73, will formally retire from singing after the release of her final studio album next week, Universal Music Enterprises said Wednesday.

She’s best remembered for her take on the soulful ’60s ballad “At Last,” but the last years of James’ career have been marred by failing health and a very public family feud of what’s left of her assets. The music legend was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease in 2009 and was admitted to a California medical center in May after falling ill with a potentially deadly sepsis problem, caused by a urinary tract infection.

Etta will release her last effort The Dreamer through Verve Forecast on Oct. 25. The album is her first in five years and will feature her renditions of Otis Redding’s “Cigarettes and Coffee,” Bobby “Blue” Bland’s “Dreamer,” Ray Charles’ “In The Evening,” and the ’80s rock anthem “Welcome to the Jungle,” originally recorded by Guns ‘N Roses.

“I wish to thank all my fans who have shown me love and support over all these years. I love you all,” she said in a statement.
