Rebecca King-Crews breaks 10-year silence on devastating health diagnosis

Rebecca King-Crews was supported by her husband, Terry Crews, as she announced her Parkinson's diagnosis.

The singer and fashion designer, 60, told the Today show on Monday (6 April) that she had been diagnosed in 2015 but was revealing it publicly now to raise awareness of a new treatment she says has helped to manage her symptoms.
