May 30, 2024
Northern Kentucky country music artist Carly Pearce gave her fans an important update regarding her health on Thursday. Pearce, 34, announced on Instagram that she had been diagnosed with pericarditis, a condition that causes swelling and irritation to the heart’s already-thin saclike tissue. The musician says she has been talking about her health and the future of her shows with doctors and a cardiologist. As a result of the new development, Pearce says some things will unfortunately have to change from what she normally brings to the stage. “I still wanna be out on the road, it’s really important to me, but we have all decided that it is in my best interest as I’m healing to alter my shows a little bit, so if my shows look a little bit different just know it’s because I have to keep my heart rate under control right now,” she explained. “That doesn’t mean I’m not gonna be completely fine, it just means right now I really need to take this seriously...” The 34-year-old from Taylor Mill, Kentucky, warns her fans to take care of themselves and to trust their intuition if they feel something is wrong. “I’m a young, healthy person that really watches what I eat and exercises, and this happened to me, so I just want to use my platform to tell you to take care of your body and listen to it, and just know that if it’s trying to tell you something, it’s gonna tell you,” she said.

I wish I could find sympathy for springteen and young. They are both sell outs. They were/are bullies that think way too much of themselves. God’s speed to both.
I'm sorry but who has ever heard of fallopian tube cancer before? Same with cancer of the appendix or sinuses. I know-someone's gonna say 'why that's been around forever'. Well, I have never known nor heard of anyone with these cancers ever. Til now. I'm "baffled".
