Natalie Cole’s fans want to give her a kidney.
The 59-year-old singer told Larry King this week that she was diagnosed with kidney failure, and while she was still on his CNN show, dozens of viewers wrote in offering to be tested as possible donors.

The daughter of Nat King Cole said she was diagnosed with hepatitis C in February 2008. Her kidneys failed after treatment, and she has since been seeking a donor.
