Carly Simon says she’s finally ready to speak out about why she’s gone quiet in recent years. The singer who shot to fame in the 1970s with a string of hits that included You're So Vain has revealed she’s been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, while quietly battling basal cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer.

The singer is speaking publicly for the first time about living with the disease.

Carly Simon revealed she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease amid recording 'Comes in Waves,' her first new album in nearly 20 years.
