True, unfortunately !

I hadn’t heard it before and enjoyed reading and singing it to myself!
Good sense of humour needed as it’s so true!

Julie Andrews has been unable to sing since the late 90s.
The sad truth can be read here:
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/my-favorite-things/
There is more but this is a summary:
Julie Andrews lost the ability to sing in 1997. That year she was admitted to Mount Sinai Hospital for the removal of a non-cancerous polyp on her vocal cords, and what should have been a simple surgical procedure went dreadfully wrong. Her multi-octave singing voice was virtually destroyed.
Andrews sued the two doctors and the hospital for what had been done to her. In 2000, she settled her malpractice suit out of court, and though the terms of that settlement were not publicly disclosed, the amount she recouped is believed to be in the neighborhood of £20 million (about $30 million US).
Not only didn’t Julie Andrews sing the ‘blue hair’ parody of “My Favorite Things” for a Radio City Music Hall audience on her 69th birthday, she couldn’t have.
“Will I ever completely come to terms with not singing? I don’t know,” says the former Mary Poppins. “I miss it very much indeed.”
