Didn't she do an interview to promote Songbird where she sort of joked that she was getting close to 80 and hope she had a few good more years left.
You really cant speculate on such an issue. You could point to her selling her catalog too. IMHO my gut tells me she seemed authentic joking that she hoped she had several more years left while promoting Songbird.
If she was sick for awhile, I think people like Stevie and Lindsey may have heard about it. It seems relatively sudden and a decision to keep things private. I respect that decision.
