Abbott described herself in the announcement as “a fan” who decades ago was drawn to the singer’s “booming voice, fierce spirit and determination to chart her own course.”

The musician previously opened up about her past in the 2016 autobiography I Bificus, which explored her experiences with misogyny and drugs in the music scene, dealing with sexual assault and surviving breast cancer and various other health issues.
