Mitchell has endured a series of health issues throughout her life, including scarlet fever and polio as a child. More recently, she was diagnosed with Morgellons disease, “a rare condition that causes people to experience a crawling and biting sensation to the skin,” reports New York Daily News .
“Fibers in a variety of colors protrude out of my skin like mushrooms after a rainstorm,” Mitchell explained in an interview from 2014. “They cannot be forensically identified as animal, vegetable, or mineral.”
Mitchell, who was among the performers at the original Woodstock festival in 1969, has earned a multitude of accolades throughout her storied career, highlighted by such seminal albums as Blue and Ladies of the Canyon. She is an eight-time GRAMMY winner, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
