It's so sad this talented and wonderful performer has gotten so ill she can no longer sing.

Parkinson's. And in late 2019, it was reported her doctors had revised their diagnosis to progressive supranuclear palsy, a degenerative disease commonly mistaken for Parkinson's due to the similarity of the symptoms. (wiki)

She turns 80 next month. As a fellow sufferer I can say, "Fuck Parkinson's."
