A Legendary Voice Speaks His Truth

Just like in the timeless Steve Lawrence song, "I've Gotta Be Me," the legendary singer has embraced the same candid spirit in sharing his personal battle with Alzheimer's disease. In an emotional statement, Steve, who recently turned 83, opened up about his diagnosis, demonstrating the kind of authenticity that has endeared him to fans across generations.

Speaking candidly, Steve emphasized the importance of being honest about his health journey. “I feel it’s crucial that I tell my own truth,” he revealed in a statement shared with People. “The disease is in its early stages, and I'm fortunate to have access to top-tier medical care. With the help of some of the best doctors in the field, they've managed to slow down this challenging process. It’s not something I take lightly, but I’m determined to face it head-on.”

Living Life to the Fullest

Despite the challenges he faces, Steve remains steadfast in his commitment to living life to the fullest. Known for his smooth duets with his late wife, Eydie Gormé, the music icon insists that his diagnosis won't stop him from enjoying every moment he can. “I’m still going out, spending time with family and friends, and soaking up all the joy I can while I’m still able to engage fully,” he said. “Life doesn’t stop because of a diagnosis, and I’m not about to let it get me down.”
