Carly Simon: Cancer & Parkinson's Diagnosis Revealed

Singer-songwriter Carly Simon has publicly shared her recent health diagnoses of cancer and Parkinson's disease. She explained that she needed time to adjust to these new realities and understand how much she wished to disclose.

Simon described living with Parkinson's as a daily adjustment, noting its unpredictable effects on her energy levels and mobility. She found challenges with simple actions like standing from furniture, which sometimes made her feel stuck.

Concurrently, a resurfaced excerpt from Simon's memoir, 'Boys From the Trees,' details her discovery of her ex-husband James Taylor's affair. She recounted confronting the other woman, identified as 'Evey,' who was a backup singer. Taylor's mistress reportedly justified the affair by relaying negative comments he had made about Simon.
