As someone who has a chronic lung disease I have every sympathy with Ian but it's good to know that his seems to be pretty much controlled as is mine thank goodness. C.O.P.D. can be a very debilitating disease and I very much hope that Ian keeps as healthy as he can and keeps on performing. ultimateclassicrock.com/ian-anderson-incurable-lung-disease/

And he added: “It's hard for me. I have what are known as exacerbations: periods when I have an infection, it turns into severe bronchitis and I have maybe two or three weeks of really difficult work to go on stage and play. Let's cross our fingers, I've been 18 months now without an exacerbation. ”
Anderson said that although his days are numbered, he is undergoing treatment and doing relatively well in an environment free of contamination.
Anyway, he pointed to the smoke machines on stage as a possible cause of his illness.

Best wishes and stay safe Ian.

www.axs.com/AXS TV's 'Big Interview' sneak peek: Ian Anderson explains how Eric Clapton inspired him to play the flute By: Lori Melton AXS Contributor May 12, 2020 19 hours ago AXS TV’s popular original series “The Big Interview with Dan Rather” returns this Wednesday, May 13 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Renowned Jethro Tull frontman Ian Anderson sits down with Rather to discuss his prolific career. In a sneak peek video clip of the upcoming installment, Anderson explains how his impression of Eric Clapton’s guitar playing prowess prompted him to play the flute. He says, “When I heard Eric Clapton, I wanted to be a flute player because I knew I was never gonna be able to match Eric Clapton – and it doesn’t necessarily have to be the flute. It’s just that I knew I wasn’t gonna be in that league as a guitar player. Not without another few years which I didn’t think I had.” The fact that a wind instrument isn’t typically considered a standard instrument in a blues-rock band didn’t deter Anderson from playing it in their band. He worked hard (without lessons) to find a way to incorporate it into their live performances. “I couldn’t get a note out of it for some months. In fact, it was about four months before the penny dropped. It’s like blowing into the top of an empty beer bottle and it will produce a resonant note,” the Scottish native music says. “Suddenly, I got a note. I think it was a 'G' and I thought wow! Then I got an 'F' and I found an 'E.' Then I had the pentatonic scale and I could play the blues.” He adds, “I found a way to make it work by singing and grunting the notes in a very forceful way, which they wouldn’t teach if you went to your music teacher and said, ‘Teach me how to play the flute.’ They’re not going to teach you that stuff, with good reason.” Jethro Tull is a legendary British blues-rock/prog rock band that has been churning out hits for multiple decades. The group broke out in 1969 with the huge success of their blues-rock album Stand Up. The album topped the UK Albums Chart and hit the Top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart in the U.S. Rather and Anderson cover a long list of topics during their candid conversation. Anderson also reveals for the first time that he’s battling an “incurable lung disease.” He’s focused on pushing forward and continuing to perform instead of giving up in the face of his COPD. He also shares his surprise in discovering the real-life Jethro Tull and reveals why not performing at Woodstock was a great career move. He also talks about his work as a climate change activist, his new biography “The Ballad of Jethro Tull,” gives a new album update, and more. Be sure to tune in to AXS TV for the all-new episode “The Big Interview” on Wednesday, May 13 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT to catch all of their intimate conversation. Find AXS TV on your TV. link

Thanks JTull007 - I was happy to hear this, but then I read that the interview was recorded last september! So the latest news is that reported in the latest AND, i.e. the album is stalled during the lockdown, so we're back to where we were...

About 20 years ago, I had a couple of bone cancer operations on my left wrist. I attributed the condition to wearing a watch with a metal band (instead of leather) for 30 years , because I liked the way these watches always looked on Ian, in all the photos. The metal must have seeped through my skin, along with the radiation from the battery.

I'm sorry to hear that he's got COPD. Glad that it's managed and as he says, he's been social distancing and taking special precautions for years. It's mainly caused by smoking. I was a bit suprised he mentioned smoke machines first instead of all his years of cigarette and pipe-smoking though.

I am hoping Ian's lung status is more routine and manageable than dire...it sounds bad but everyone loses some heart/lung strength over the years and the exacerbations sound managed well with awareness and meds. I think the years of smoking are far more consequential than his industrial disease from rock and roll...the cool effects during My God and Budapest very nice but not worth Ian suffering, for sure. I will redouble my secular prayers that he live many more years, make lots more music and mismanage his fortune so his heirs find themselves desperate for money and quick to empty the vaults of every last note in the way Zappa and Prince estates have flooded market. Much like Zappa and Prince, we know Ian is a workaholic and a perfectionist which means there could be much music he wrongly deemed not good enough for the public. The stuff that Prince held back has been astoundingly good.

I do not know who is making the money off of it, but they are still releasing new JIMI HENDRIX music 50 years AFTER HIS DEATH! . I hope there will be 75th and 100th TULL Anniversary Sets and a treasure trove of material for future generations to enjoy .

In 100 years I think all births on this planet will be accompanied by insertion of Tull chip in the infant's brain.

In The Studio with Redbeard Bringing in the weekend with Jethro Tull. Singer, songwriter, flautist Ian Anderson returns here IN THE STUDIO next week for the band’s big fiftieth anniversary of "Aqualung", so this should prime the pump with another angle on all of that material. Here’s another of the rare “Dressing Room Tapes” performances in the backstage bowels of the concert hall before a Zurich Switzerland 1989 concert with guitarist Martin Barre ripping a spirited “Locomotive Breath". bit.ly/3kQbAwK
