Mostly because of all of you.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been so lucky to have had 20 years of using my voice singing and acting and teaching which has been amazing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They continued: &#8220;It&#8217;s been such a great, varied and rich experience that even if this were IT (I hope it isn&#8217;t) that actually I&#8217;d be ok with it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lots of folk in the industry don&#8217;t have anything even close to the wonderful experiences I&#8217;ve had so I&#8217;m grateful. Fingers crossed that even if it is a surgery its nothing major and I can rest, rehab and return stronger than ever.
