Linda Ronstadt has Parkinson's disease
 

This just breaks my heart. One of my all-time favorite singers.

:( Oh. God bless.

Parkinson's sucks. Both of my dad's parents suffer from it.

It does. My father has it as well.

I wouldn't wish Parkinson's on anyone.

I love Linda Rondstadt's music, and was so disappointed to hear from some radio friends that she's considered one of the rudest interviews in the business. Maybe she's been suffering from Parkinson's longer than people realize?

She says she has had noticeable motor symptoms for eight years. And if I remember correctly when my Oma was diagnosed, the non-motor symptoms usually start first- so those would have been around longer than 8 years. So depending on when the interview was, you might be on to something!
