Carly Simon Reveals Parkinson’s Diagnosis: ‘I Have Not Stopped Living’ - Rolling Stone

Carly Simon, 83, revealed in a heartfelt letter to fans that she has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, explaining her recent absence from public life.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee described the condition as unpredictable, noting that some days leave her too tired to function while others allow her to move, think, work, and feel like herself.
Simon also disclosed she was recently treated for basal cell carcinoma on her face, which was successfully removed, joking about the irony given her hit song "You're So Vain."
These health challenges prompted her to withdraw from the spotlight but also led to her completing a new album, Comes in Waves, drawing on melodies and ideas she had previously set aside.
Due out August 14, the record marks her first new album in nearly 20 years, following 2009's Never Been Gone; it was recorded at her Martha's Vineyard home and produced by longtime collaborator Paul Samwell-Smith.
Her children Ben and Sally Taylor appear on the album, with Sally creating the cover art, and the lead single "Howl" is already out; Simon was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, 26 years after becoming eligible.
