Episode Details

Carly Simon, the iconic singer-songwriter, has revealed she’s been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease — a progressive neurological condition with no cure — after years of declining mobility despite knee and hip surgeries. The diagnosis came from a thorough evaluation at the Mayo Clinic, and she’s also coping with the emotional weight of anxiety, depression, and apathy. Adding to her health journey, she previously battled basal cell carcinoma and underwent surgery. Though she’s been largely out of the public eye since her last performance in 2018, Simon is far from retired — she’s just released her first full album in over a decade, “Comes in Waves,” created from home as a way to structure her days and stay connected to life. Despite the challenges, she’s determined to live fully, embracing each day’s hurdles while staying present and engaged.
