Carly Simon has shared that she has Parkinson’s disease.

The You’re So Vain singer opened up about her condition while also revealing that she has been managing skin cancer alongside the neurological illness.

In a statement provided to People on Monday, Simon said she was finally prepared to discuss her medical difficulties after spending several years away from public attention.

"So many people have written to me, kindly wondering about my relative silence, asking how I am and what I have been doing," she wrote. "The truth is, I've been learning how to live with Parkinson's disease."

The 83 year old singer and songwriter explained that she needed time to process the diagnosis before speaking about it openly.

"It has taken me some time to understand the diagnosis, to adjust to it, and to decide how much I wanted to say about it publicly," she penned. "Parkinson's is different for everyone, and it can be unpredictable. Some days, I'm so tired I can't get the day moving at all. On others, it gives me a little more room to move, think, work, and feel like myself."

Simon also looked back at the beginning of her medical problems, noting that they initially appeared as "arthritis in both knees and one hip". Despite receiving three joint replacements, her "mobility continued to worsen".

"Eventually, there were periods when I could not walk without considerable help," she continued. "My family and I knew that something more was going on. After an extensive evaluation at the Mayo Clinic, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's."

The musician further disclosed that doctors discovered basal cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer, on her face around the same period.

"The cancer was removed, but the surgery affected my appearance and made me more self-conscious about being seen in public," she shared.

The two time Grammy winner acknowledged that her medical struggles made "withdrawing from public view was the most palatable reaction".

Still, Simon stressed that she has "not stopped living" and is getting ready to unveil Comes in Waves, her first album in 18 years.

"In the middle of all this, I began recording a new album, Comes in Waves," she shared. "That still feels mysterious to me. Music has always known when to arrive. It has rescued me more times that I can count."

Comes in Waves will be released on August 14.

Louis Tomlinson may be amazed by how quickly the years have passed, but One Direction’s music continues to hold a meaningful place in his life.

Thursday, July 23, marks 16 years since 1D was formed on X Factor, beginning one of the most successful boy band eras of the 2010s. To recognize the anniversary, the British singer and songwriter revisited several tracks from the group’s popular catalog through his Instagram Story, sharing his honest thoughts about each one. He began with the 2012 song “Moments.”

“So many special memories with this one,” Tomlinson wrote about the Up All Night track, which Ed Sheeran helped compose. “Absolutely classic @teddysphotos Melody. First time I ever felt really proud of my own vocal on track.”

When discussing “Na Na Na,” Tomlinson called it “Peak lyricism.” He offered another simple reaction to “Kiss You,” writing, “Always loved this one.”

“Not my fav but huge pop song,” he said about “Live While We’re Young,” which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Still remember shooting the video clearly, some amazing memories that day!”

Tomlinson also highlighted songs that remind him of particular One Direction members. He explained that “Over Again” always “reminds me of Niall for some reason.”

“Pretty Sure this was when Liam first discovered his falsetto, I remember how proud we all were,” he wrote about “More Than This,” praising his late bandmate. “He sounds incredible!”

Following their beginnings on X Factor, Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik completed four sold out world tours, earned four No. 1 records on the Billboard 200 and placed six songs inside the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Their journey began July 23, 2010, after Simon Cowell asked the five contestants, who had each been eliminated as solo performers, to reenter the competition as a group.

A full decade has passed since 1D separated in 2016, and every member went on to establish a successful individual career. Tomlinson is now touring behind his latest solo record, How Did I Get Here?, which entered the Billboard 200 at No. 16 in February.

“Coming out of a band the size of One Direction, eyes are on you, and you’re expected to succeed instantly,” he told Billboard’s Jason Lipshutz for his January cover story. “Those things are normal to feel, but if you let it, it’ll steer you [toward] the wrong decisions. I’ve tried to come at this record with a bit more of a bird’s eye view.”

Keith Richards has described Amy Winehouse as a “sad story” and believes the late singer “had so much more potential”.

The Rolling Stones recorded a version of Amy’s You Know I’m No Good for their newest album, Foreign Tongues. Keith praised the artist, who died from alcohol poisoning in 2011 after drinking heavily following a period of sobriety, as “one of the best to come out of England”.

Speaking with Billboard, he said: “Loved the song. Always thought that Amy was a sad story in many ways, but she was one of the best to come out of England, and probably had so much more potential. I’m not sure who kicked the idea off, whether it was Mick or Andrew [Watt, producer], but we said, ‘Well, you know, we used to, we started off, we were a cover band, basically, so if there’s one you wanted to cover now, what would it be?’ And Amy came out on top.”

The Rolling Stones had previously joined Amy onstage to perform the Temptations’ Ain’t Too Proud to Beg at the Isle of Wight Festival in 2007. Singer Sir Mick Jagger said choosing You Know I’m No Good for Foreign Tongues felt “organic”.

He shared: “We were looking for a good song to cover from a female vocalist, and we were thinking of early people, and then we said, ‘Let’s do something a bit more recent.’ We alighted on that song. I always liked that song. I could have written it, you know what I mean? Almost. I felt that I could have written that song, because it’s like a minor-key harmonica lead. I just copied the horn lead and played it on harmonica, so it felt very organic.”

Amy was discovered dead inside her apartment in Camden, north London, on Saturday, July 23, 2011. She was 27 years old.

Dr Shirley Radcliffe, the St Pancras coroner, recorded a verdict of misadventure and stated: “She voluntarily consumed alcohol, a deliberate act that took an unexpected turn in that it caused her death.”

The Guardian reported that Winehouse had 416mg of alcohol per decilitre in her bloodstream, a level capable of causing unconsciousness and suppressing the respiratory system.

Paramedics found Winehouse unresponsive in her bed, with empty vodka bottles lying on the floor.

Broken Lizard interrupted Limp Bizkit’s performance at the Summer of ’99 And Beyond Festival to deliver a staged “noise complaint”.

The comedy group walked onto the stage dressed as their Super Troopers characters during the weekend event. Fred Durst and his fellow nu metal stars were headlining the first night of Creed’s festival in Tinley Park, Illinois.

Near the end of the concert, members of Broken Lizard arrived wearing Vermont state trooper uniforms and acted as though they were stopping the performance because of excessive noise.

Some audience members did not immediately understand that the interruption was planned. One member of the troupe, which is currently promoting Super Troopers 3, shouted: “Shut up, all you chicken-fs. With these lights on, I can see all you chicken-fs there.

“You’re a chicken-f*****, you’re a chicken-f*****. All of you up there are chicken-f*****s.”

The comedians eventually dropped the pretend complaint and remained onstage while Limp Bizkit finished the concert with Break Stuff.

Creed closed the festival’s second night on Sunday, 19 July 2026, while fellow throwback acts Hoobastank, Puddle of Mudd and Cypress Hill also appeared on the lineup.

Last month, Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland said the group is “the biggest we’ve ever been right now” following its first headline appearance at Download Festival.

Alongside their recent live achievements, Limp Bizkit have also experienced renewed attention across the internet.

Speaking to Gear4musicguitars, Wes said: “We’re the biggest we’ve ever been right now [as well]. It’s crazy.

“And I’m not saying that in a cocky way. I’m saying that, like, we can’t believe it.

“It’s just been — we’re so lucky. I don’t know exactly how it happened, but I think people… We just get along so well now, and everybody, we’re adults, and we’re still having fun doing it, and I think that translates to the audience.”

Wes also explained that the group’s workload currently feels heavier than at any previous point.

He added: “I don’t know whether it’s TikTok or nostalgia or what it is, but we’ve been busy, busy, busy.”

The band’s streaming figures also increased after bassist Sam Rivers died, although Wes admitted that discussing the loss remains extremely difficult for him.

He told Consequence: “He was like family. I’m gonna try not to cry. It’s just like we lost a piece of our DNA…

“It’s too hard to talk about right now in depth... He can’t ever be replaced. We’re so lucky for Richie [Buxton]… he’s such a great player, and he’s just a wonderful guy, and we’re gonna hold onto him for as long as we can.”
