Carly Simon
I Have Parkinson’s and Skin Cancer
Published
Carly Simon is battling health issues on multiple fronts … revealing she has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and skin cancer.
The “You’re So Vain” singer announced the news over the weekend … saying that along with her Parkinson’s diagnosis and treatment, she underwent surgery for basal cell carcinoma, according to multiple reports.
The 83-year-old says she broke her silence because she has been inundated with fans asking if she is OK after leaving the public eye for several years.
Still, Carly says … “But I have not stopped living, and I have not stopped working.”
It makes sense fans would be concerned … Carly’s last public performance was in 2019 … at the 31st Annual Tibet House US Benefit Concert & Gala at Carnegie Hall.
Carly’s now preparing to release “Comes in Waves,” her first full-length album since 2008.
Talking about her pain, exhaustion, and the mental toll of her health struggles, the singer closed out her announcement on an upbeat note, saying … “These days I move more slowly, I lean on others more than I once did, and I have learned to accept that every day will look a little different.”
She adds … “But I am still very much here.”
