She began to have severe issues with the throat and with her singing voice. And what she presumed to be a pinched nerve, or something else relatively minor, eventually turned into a diagnosis of a degenerative brain disease known as progressive supranuclear palsy. It has similar symptoms to Parkinson’s disease but is rare. Sadly, this meant her singing career went on a decline between 2000 and 2009 before she ultimately had to stop performing altogether. In this video, we take a look at Linda's journey from music sensation on top of the world, to discovering her tragic disease.

We take a look at how doctors at first misdiagnosed her with Parkinson's disease and the long and winding road towards finally getting the right diagnosis. And we talk about the repercussions that having this awful disease have been for Linda, as her ability to do everyday tasks has diminished severely over the years.
