Patti LaBelle finds love with a younger man: Her drummer

It's lovely local news out of London: Lady Marmalade has a new jam.

The Daily Mail reports that Patti LaBelle, who's been making noise with her pies in addition to her voice, has something else sweet in her life.

LaBelle, 71, has found love with her 41-year-old drummer, Eric Seats.

The romance has been going on for around 18 months.

"She tried to keep it quiet, but everyone around her has figured things out now. She's completely smitten with him and they spend so much time together," said an unnamed Daily Mail Source.

Seats has even moved from Los Angeles to be with LaBelle here in Philadelphia.

The Daily Mail source said there's a portrait of the couple hanging in Labelle's bedroom.
