Carly Simon opens up about her music, relationships and Parkinson's diagnosis
Music legend Carly Simon is opening about about her music, her love life and her health – including a recent diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease – in a new interview with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer.
"Music is so wonderful because it gives you a direction," the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, known for hits including "You're So Vain" and "Nobody Does It Better," told Sawyer in a preview of the interview that aired Wednesday on “Good Morning America.”
Simon spoke with Sawyer after the release of her latest album, "Comes in Waves," her first album of original material in 18 years.
The full interview, which will air in November on “GMA,” also sees Simon opening up about her personal life, including her past relationships and whether she felt she made any “mistakes’ in her love life.
Simon is joined in the interview by her daughter, artist Sally Taylor, and her son, musician Ben Taylor, who quipped about his mom’s very public love life, “There must have been one or two in there that you could have done without.”
In July, just before the release of her album, Simon publicly revealed that she had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and can cause symptoms including tremors, stiffness and difficulty with balance, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
In the preview of the upcoming interview, Simon recalled when she first noticed symptoms of the disease.
"But then there was one summer, it was about 2010, I guess, that I noticed that occasionally I would have a little tremor like that," she said.
Tune into “Good Morning America” from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., ET, on ABC this November for more of Diane Sawyer’s interview with Carly Simon.
