The Queen of Soul will be singing for Pope Francis when he makes his U.S visit. Aretha Franklin will be taking center stage on September 26th in Philadelphia.

“It is indeed a blessing to sing in the presence of His Holiness and to the attendees of the Festival of Families in the City of Brotherly Love,” said Franklin.

Franklin will sing at an open-air concert hosted by actor Mark Wahlberg. Organizers said they are expecting more than 1.5 million people at the visit.
