Comedian Billy Connolly and his wife, Pamela Stephenson, spoke openly about his Parkinson's diagnosis
Billy Connolly has sadly retired from performing due to his Parkinson's diagnosis, with his wife, Pamela Stephenson explaining in a candid piece in, "Performing live is no longer an option," sharing that they have moved to Florida to help ease his condition, which can be aggravated by extreme weather, as experience in Billy's native Glasgow.
"It’s very difficult to see the progression exactly, because a lot of things come and go. Recently I’ve noticed a deterioration in my balance. That was never such a problem before, but in the last year that has come and it has stayed."For some reason, I thought it would go away because a lot of symptoms have come and gone away … just to defy the symptom spotters.
"I found a new Pamela. And it’s worked out great. I never thought that you’d be able to look after me the way you do. I thought it would annoy you terribly. You were such an independent “look after yourself” kind of person. But you’ve rallied round to looking after me. And it suits you great. And it sure suits me lovely."
