This news makes me so very sad:
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Linda Ronstadt says she suffers from Parkinson’s disease, which has robbed her ability to sing.
The 67-year-old music legend tells AARP Magazine, in an article posted online Friday, that she was diagnosed eight months ago and “can’t sing a note.”
Ronstadt says she began to show symptoms as long as eight years ago, but attributed her inability to sing then to a tick disease. When her hands began to tremble, Ronstadt said she thought the shaking was the result of a shoulder operation.
She said she was “completely shocked” when she finally saw a neurologist and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. “I wouldn’t have suspected that in a million, billion years.
“No one can sing with Parkinson’s disease,” Ronstadt told AARP music writer Alanna Nash. “No matter how hard you try.”

I read this the other day. Sadly. I always liked her.
I read this the other day, too. It made me so so SO sad.
I've always loved her voice and songs! I listen to her music on-line all the time.
HUGS!!!
A great singer. I remember when she was dating Governor Jerry Brown.
Age has caught up with all our favorites...Makes me feel old.
Suprised to hear she had a 'tick disease' and wonder if that is Lyme disease. A friend of mine caught that. Could it have been a contributing factor perhaps? It is sad.
It's really sad news. Here's hoping that new discoveries will lead to a cure for all those with Parkinson's.
This news about tha singer makes me sad too , Marsha .
