A sad sad day in the neighborhood


Tendonitis Sidelines DiFranco For a Year

She built her name on incessant touring, but now medical concerns will keep Ani DiFranco off the road for a year. DiFranco announced that a severe case of tendonitis in her hands and wrists will force her to take it easy for the next 12 months and abandon all tour plans. She already sat out of the tour circuit for three months convalescing, but it wasn’t enough. A spokesperson reported that without rest, DiFranco’s injuries could become permanent. A West Coast tour was cancelled in order to give DiFranco’s hands the rest they need.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------At first when I read this I was distraught that the show I have tickets for was not going to happen. Then I realized (with help) that was horribly selfish of me. Imagine how this hiatus must feel for her. Yikes. I’ll be a wishin’ and a hopin’ that those hands and wrists get better as quickly as possible!
