The Indigo Girls have received an outpouring of support following a video statement by Emily Saliers, who revealed that two incurable physical conditions she is experiencing will negatively impact her vocals on their upcoming tour. Saliers has been diagnosed with cervical dystonia and an essential tremor, which have hampered her ability to sing in a clear and constant tone. Despite this, the band continues to proceed with the tour, with advance warning that the audience will notice the difference. The response to this revelation was positive, with fellow performing artists praising the band's courage and proactive approach.
