Breaking news: Joan Baez, an American singer, has passed away.
What nobody was aware of concerning Joan Baez’s life is disclosed: “To share was heartbreaking, but I feel at peace now.”
In a documentary, the seasoned singer discloses that her father mistreated her, that she began counseling at the age of 16, and that she developed an addiction to anxiolytics. “I wanted to leave something true because I am over 80 years old,” she tells El País.
Joan Baez alleges that, when she was a little child, her father mistreated her. At school, Joan Baez was referred to as a “stupid Mexican.” When Joan Baez was sixteen years old, she began attending therapy. For eight years, Joan Baez was dependent on anxiolytics. The way Joan Baez was with Bob Dylan appalled her. The foundation of Joan Baez’s relationship with her singing sister, Mimi, was envy and power struggles. Joan Baez spent two years with a woman. For many years, Joan Baez battled panic attacks, neuroses, and dissociative identity disorder.
When asked why she felt compelled to reveal to the world so much information that maybe only her closest friends and family were aware of, 83-year-old Joan Baez grinned. As I am more than eighty years old, I felt it was important to leave a true message. There was no going back after I handed Karen [filmmaker O’Connor] the keys to my privacy. “I couldn’t go back if I really wanted to change something; I had already made the decision,” she says via a video conversation from her Los Angeles home to EL PAÍS. The singer is referring to the documentary Joan Baez: I Am a Noise, which takes viewers on a vivid journey through her life and explores the deepest corners of her psyche.
