Aside from concentrating on painting and other projects (like a multiple volume autobiography), Joni suffers from Morgellon's Syndrome. She put out an album of new originals, Shine, in 2009. Considering how the music industry and fans turned their backs on her once she started doing jazz and less commercial but more innovative work, I think she's well entitled to now shun the music industry—and the endless but fickle hunger of the public.
