Linda Ronstadt struggle with Parkinson's: By bina@binafink.com

The 11-time Grammy-winning, multiplatinum artist Linda Ronstadt has revealed that she has Parkinson's disease, and has dramatically affected her singing career.
The "You're No Good" singer gave the news tothe AARP on Friday stating that she "can't sing a note" because of the degenerative neurological disorder.
Linda Ronstadt says she began showing the symptoms of Parkinson's  eight years ago but was only recently diagnosed with the disease in January.
"I couldn't sing and I couldn't figure out why," the 67-year-old rock/pop singer told the AARP. "I knew it was mechanical. I knew it had to do with the muscles, but I thought it might have also had something to do with the tick disease that I had. And it didn't occur to me to go to a neurologist.
"I think I've had it for seven or eight years already, because of the symptoms that I've had. Then I had a shoulder operation, so I thought that's why my hands were trembling. Parkinson's is very hard to diagnose, so when I finally went to a neurologist and he said, 'Oh, you have Parkinson's disease,' I was completely shocked. I wouldn't have suspected that in a million, billion years. No one can sing with Parkinson's disease, No matter how hard you try."
We wish her all the best to Linda.
