Carly Simon, 83, publicly disclosed a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis after years of worsening mobility starting with arthritis and multiple joint replacements, with a Mayo Clinic evaluation confirming the condition and treatment to ease stiffness. She described fatigue as a dominant symptom and said some days she can’t move much while others she can think and work, noting the illness is unpredictable and varies for everyone. She said there is no cure and spoke of anxiety, depression, and apathy associated with Parkinson’s. She also disclosed surgery to remove a cancerous growth from her face, adding to health challenges. Despite these health issues, she remains committed to making music, including a new album, Comes in Waves, and continuing to perform and create. The reporting noted coverage by outlets like People, NBC News, and the Guardian.
