In an interview with music writer Alanna Nash that was posted on the AARP blog Friday, Ronstadt said she was diagnosed with the degenerative disorder eight months ago, but has been experiencing symptoms including not being able to sing for as long as eight years. She told Nash she attributed it to a tick bite and chalked up her trembling hands to the residual effects of shoulder surgery.

鈥淚t didn鈥檛 occur to me to go to a neurologist. I think I鈥檝e had it for seven or eight years already, because of the symptoms that I鈥檝e had,鈥� Ronstadt, 67, told Nash in an interview Friday, says the report on the AARP blog.

She could not be reached for comment Friday evening.

Rondstadt told Nash she was 鈥渃ompletely shocked鈥� when she was told she had Parkinson鈥檚. 鈥淚 wouldn鈥檛 have suspected that in a million, billion years,鈥� she said.

鈥淣o one can sing with Parkinson鈥檚 disease,鈥� Ronstadt told Nash. 鈥淣o matter how hard you try.鈥�

Nash reported that Ronstadt sometimes walks with the aid of poles and uses a wheelchair when traveling.Nash鈥檚 wide-ranging interview with Ronstadt will be published on AARP鈥檚 website (aarp.org) next week.
