The 73-year-old singer, who received an award for her album The Morning Afternoon in 1972, has announced that she is suffering from Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), 'with signs of Alzheimer's and/or dementia.' In a voice-over, she said, 'What I do or what I am still able to achieve has changed'. I am no longer able to travel or appear in live concerts.' In fact, I can no longer drive - how's that for a kick in the butt?'
