Indigo Girls Singer's Health Shakes Up Tour Plans

Indigo Girls' Emily Saliers has announced significant health challenges that will affect her singing voice on the band's upcoming tour. Saliers shared that she has been diagnosed with cervical dystonia and an essential tremor, two incurable conditions that impact her vocal cords and ability to maintain a steady tone.

These diagnoses have caused involuntary shakes and muscle tightening, making clear and consistent singing difficult. Saliers expressed her personal struggle with these changes at age 62 but emphasized the duo's commitment to delivering their best performance. They are adapting song arrangements and utilizing modern digital tools to enhance vocal quality.
