Award-winning Kiwi singer Jenny Morris has revealed she has a rare neurological disorder that has forced her to stop performing.
Morris, 59, was diagnosed with spasmodic dysphonia, which causes involuntary spasms in the larynx.
"I sound like a 50-year-old crone who's been smoking three packs a day for 30 years, and not in a sexy way," Morris told ABC's Australian Story.
"I have no idea whether I will sing again. At this point, I can see that I wouldn't want to charge people to hear me sing."
Morris has released six solo albums, and won best female artist in 1987 and 1988 at the Aria Awards.
