This story originally appeared at American Web Media<\/a>.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Linda Ronstadt was one of the \u201870s most prolific singers, selling 100 million records and accumulating a medley of Grammys, Golden Globes, CMA, and Tony Awards over the course of her long career.<\/span>However, Ronstadt\u2019s life changed completely in 2000, when she found herself suddenly unable to sing. Nine years later, she would give her final performance. And in 2013, she was diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s Disease.<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cI can\u2019t even sing in the shower,\u201d Ronstadt recently told Tracy Smith of CBS News as part of a wide-ranging program that looked back at her extensive career and collaborations with artists like Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. (The pair even discussed why Ronstadt \u2014 who was called both the \u201cfirst true woman rock \u2018n roll star\u201d and America\u2019s \u201cfemale rock superstar of the decade\u201d \u2013 never married).<\/span>\"\"<\/span>\u201cWhen you\u2019ve been able to do certain things all your life, like put your shoes on and brush your teeth or whatever \u2013 when you can\u2019t do that, you sort of go, \u2018What\u2019s this?\u2019\u201d Ronstadt confided in the interview. \u201cYou know, what\u2019s happening here? Come help me with this. And then you have to learn to ask people to help, and that took a little doing. But I do that now because I need the help.\u201d<\/span>
\n<\/span>But instead of getting angry, the former rock \u2018n roll star remains grateful for the many opportunities her voice has provided.<\/span>She\u2019s also \u201cnot afraid of dying.\u201d<\/span>\u201cI\u2019m sure they\u2019ll find something eventually,\u201d the retired rock star said of doctors and researchers racing to cure this deadly disease.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>\u201cThey\u2019re learning so much more about it every day,\u201d she explained. \u201cIf not, I mean, I\u2019m 72. We\u2019re all going to die. So, they say people usually die with Parkinson\u2019s. They don\u2019t always die of it because it\u2019s so slow-moving. So, I\u2019ll figure I\u2019ll die of something. And I\u2019ve watched people die, so I\u2019m not afraid of dying. I\u2019m afraid of suffering, but I\u2019m not afraid of dying.\u201d<\/span>Find out more about what Linda Rhonstadt\u2019s been up to in the video below!<\/span>Proper BCS greatergood_ctg_abovevideo<\/span><\/span>Source<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
