LINDA RONSTADT

She may be in retirement now, but once upon a time, Linda Maria Ronstadt was one of the biggest names in music. She has received a total of 10 Grammy Awards, 2 Academy of Country Music Awards, an Emmy, and 3 American Music Awards during her career. She may be on top of her career and was doing very well, but things eventually took a wrong turn.

It was in 2011 when news broke that Linda could no longer sing due to progressive supranuclear palsy. Being diagnosed with the condition is one thing, but letting something you’re highly passionate about is another hurdle to surpass. Despite the odds, the singer still continues to make appearances and public speaking tours. However, being out of the limelight may be a difficult adjustment, but she will probably be able to continue living in comfort thanks to all the investment money she has made.
