Until the announcement last month of her first album in 16 years, Carly Simon had been keeping a fairly low profile. Today, in a heartfelt and good-humored letter to fans, the decorated singer-songwriter revealed two reasons why: She has been living with Parkinson’s disease and recovering from successful skin cancer surgery. “Some days I’m so tired I can’t get the day moving at all,” Simon writes of her Parkinson’s symptoms. “On others, it gives me a little more room to move, think, work, and feel like myself.”Simon noticed signs of Parkinson’s during her recovery from multiple knee and hip replacement…

It’s late July, the time of year when the days are long, the parents are restless, and everyone is consumed with a seasonal debate: What exactly is the Song of the Summer? Though this amorphous title isn’t usually anointed until around Labor Day, the chatter starts almost as soon as the season heats up.

The album received unanimous acclaim from specialized critics, being praised for its sound and fusion of different genres, and was nominated for the Grammy Award for album of the year.

In a touching letter to fans, Carly Simon revealed she has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.“Many people wrote to me, politely inquiring about my relative silence, wondering how I was and what I had been doing,” the 83-year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee wrote. “The truth is that I have learned to live with Parkinson's disease.”She added: “It took me some time to understand the diagnosis, to accept it and to decide how much I wanted to talk about it publicly. Parkinson's manifests itself differently for everyone and can be unpredictable. Some days I'm so tired I can't…

Fedez has announced the cancellation of the summer tour for health reasons. He did so with a long post published on Instagram, explaining that he had been hospitalized and had to interrupt his live commitments on the advice of the doctors.«My body raised its hand for the umpteenth time and told me “stop”.
