Happy Halloween

Picture of me in my first Halloween costume

This is a picture of me in my first Halloween costume. I was seven years old. Life was pretty scary back then and I talk about it in my memoir "Le Freak." Last year around Halloween, I was diagnosed with very aggressive cancer.

Shortly after that I had a neurological incident which caused extreme loss of muscle strength in my right hand. I'm not sure if they're related and I haven't fully recovered.

Halloween was pretty cool when I became friends with my long-time partner, Bernard Edwards, because his birthday was Halloween and we'd always party a lot. But I lost him way too young, and that's also pretty scary.

Today I'm undergoing a series of tests down in Baltimore, Maryland at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Life can still be pretty scary. Happy Birthday Bernard and to all of you, Boo! Happy Halloween.
