Kia Kaha Sir Dave!

Sir Dave Dobbyn has been Diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease

In a statement from Sir Dave Dobbyn's Facebook page, the 65-year-old singer confirmed his diagnosis

"I have felt a little shaky for a while now and in July I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. I've found it gives me a wider appreciation of life. Of late I have a tremor in my right hand which gives my guitar playing a new kind of twang. I have to do what I love, so it's business as usual and on with the show, singing all the way.

My great band arrives in the studio tomorrow ahead of our jaunt to Brisbane for the UB40 (Ali Campbell) show. All good. See you there, Brizzy."
