In 2010 she was on a tour, it was plagued with health deterioration and I recall a few shocking videos came out where it was obvious that WH wasn’t at her best.
Her band ended up in my shop in Manchester and they were really fed up, their gear was all in storage and they had had issues with soundcheck delays, cancellations across the entire tour.
They bought some instruments just to get them through, keep them playing while they waited for the call to say she would or wouldn’t be pulling the dates as they basically travelled around...waiting.
Think they played 2 dates in Manchester and she cut one performance short and then was really off colour and gruff/weak on the other.
Then the videos came thick and fast, I’m sure there were folks demanding refunds.
She was at a real low ebb.
Tragic. And I had always admired her talent, and absolutely always fancied her, a very beautiful lady.
They're doing one of those really creepy Holographic arena tours in 2020.
