“It’s my knees and my feet,” she explains. “I have a broken big toe on one foot. I have gout around my feet and that ends up affecting my joints… It’s difficult. I’m not as agile as I used to be. I’m not 35 anymore. It’s difficult, but there are ways to do shows that don’t require you to be insane now.”
