Carly Simon Diagnosis

Carly Simon, 83, said Monday that she has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and recently underwent surgery for basal cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer. The “You’re So Vain” singer said the Parkinson’s diagnosis followed declining mobility, including periods when she could not walk without considerable help. Simon said her relative silence reflected learning to live with the disease, which she described as unpredictable and linked to anxiety, depression, exhaustion and apathy.
