Life Is Beautiful 716 Posted April 16, 2017 Linda has had Parkinson's since 2013, and was too ill to attend her OWN induction at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame back in 2014....hasn't made a single public appearance or performance since then. She doesn't have much time left it seems... This sucks, she was always one of my favorite female voices. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Bearer 6,101 Posted April 17, 2017 Old thread. Try looking for the original thread before posting. CBA now as I'm too pissed to look for if now. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted April 17, 2017 I knew she had her own thread originally, but I can't seem to find it for some reason. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 7,963 Posted April 17, 2017 I can't seem to find a previous thread for her either. Just an assortment of mentions in the pop stars thread. This one shall stand. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,101 Posted April 17, 2017 Well, well, well. Bugger me, in my sobriety, I looked and found she's been mentioned in about a dozen and a half threads, but no thread. Apologies to you LiB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely longlister as she’s made the average prognosis, but the wide variance makes me not to keen to be picking her immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
