‘80s music icon says she went to Hawaii ‘to die' while battling colon cancer
Taylor Dayne shared some personal details regarding her past bout with cancer.
The 'Prove Your Love' singer exclusively told Parade that she previously traveled to Hawaii 'to die' after being diagnosed with colon cancer in July 2022.
'I was at the Blue Note in Hawaii because I said I'm going to go there to die,' Dayne, 63, told the outlet.
The 'Don't Rush Me' singer also expressed an interest in playing at the renowned jazz club.
'I'll walk on stage. I'll sit at night [on] my little stool, and I promise you, I'll go back and forth [to the hospital there],' Dayne said.
The singer, who has remained cancer-free, added that she met the 'most loving, helping, caring' people in the Aloha State.
'I could receive this incredible blanket and a hug and understanding [from them], and that's when I understood what being an artist really is,' Dayne told Parade.
Dayne rose to stardom through the success of her first two albums: 1987's 'Tell It to My Heart' and 1989's 'Can't Fight Fate.'
Both albums were certified two-times platinum by the RIAA. Dayne has achieved three gold singles and seven top 10 singles, including 'I'll Always Love You,' 'Tell It to My Heart,' and the chart-topping 'Love Will Lead You Back.'
Among Dayne's accolades are an American Music Award, multiple New York Music Awards and nominations for two Grammy Awards.
The 'Heart of Stone' singer also told Parade she started working on 'new music about a month ago.'
'The new music we're working on. I think an album's actually in the works,' Dayne said. 'I spoke to my management about it, and we're getting such interesting feedback that we might put [out] a lot more.'

Former 'Real Housewives' Regular Sentenced to 87 Months in Prison
Former 'Real Housewives' Regular Sentenced to 87 Months in Prison originally appeared on Parade. Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Thomas Girardi has been sentenced to 87 months behind bars, according to NBC News. The disgraced lawyer, who appeared on the Bravo franchise when he was married to Erika Jayne, received his sentencing — which included more than $2 million in restitution to victims — on June 3. The now-86-year-old was found guilty on four charges related to wire fraud and embezzlement after the prosecution claimed that he stole millions of dollars from some of his former clients. In August 2024, Girardi testified in his fraud trial. 'The last thing I would do would be to take someone's money,' Girardi said on the stand, according to Courthouse News Service. "I wouldn't think of it." Months prior, Girardi was deemed competent to stand trial despite being diagnosed with late-onset Alzheimer's disease and dementia three years 53, filed for divorce from Girardi in 2020. He was stripped of his license to practice law and was eventually placed in a conservatorship, with his brother, Rob Girardi, stepping in as his conservator. In May 2022, Jayne shared an update on her ex-husband. "I can only say decline and further decline. It will not get better," she told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. She went on to say that her ex was still under investigation at that time. "They're still investigating. I'm not defending him, but I'm also taking care of myself at the same time," she added. "I saw Tom do a lot of good things for people so you think some of those people perhaps would be like, 'Hey Erika, how are you doing?' But that has not happened." Girardi is expected to surrender to federal authorities to begin his prison sentence on July 17.

The FDA Just Updated a Recall on This Popular Summer Produce To Its Highest Classification—Here's What to Know
The FDA Just Updated a Recall on This Popular Summer Produce To Its Highest Classification—Here's What to Know originally appeared on Parade. Not to be an alarmist, but if you aren't paying attention to our food system yet, you might want to start. In recent weeks, we have seen a slew of recalls affecting everything from cucumbers, sausages, frozen meals, and canned goods, causing us to wonder if any of the food in our home is safe. Sure, there's some level of normal when it comes to said recalls—some are simply due to missed ingredients on labels or an incorrect sell-by date—but the more nefarious cases of salmonella, listeria, and E. coli are not something we should be taking lightly. 😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔 In some ways, this current era of unknowns within our food supply chain isn't new or asymptomatic, but it's worth it to note that it isn't getting any better. Regulatory agencies are being cut left and right, and systems meant to protect us have become virtually non-existent. Funding is trickling to a halt, and there doesn't seem to be any plan to replace or rehab the parts of the machine that are broken. In short, we're in free fall. To make matters even more complex, the foods affected most are ingredients like fresh produce and meats, leaving us scrambling to figure out what's safe and what isn' if you thought a salad was your best bet, you might want to think again. Adding to the running list of fruits and vegetables to use with caution this summer is none other than the season's juiciest and most versatile fruit, the tomato. On May 2, Williams Repack LLC. announced a recall of tomatoes produced on their farms due to potential salmonella contamination, and the FDA updated the recall to Class I on May 28. Class I is the highest recall classification, which means that consuming tainted products could result in serious adverse health consequences or even death. The affected tomatoes were sold and distributed to Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, and there currently isn't a clear picture of what specific stores received them, so it's best to avoid them for now to be safe. You can identify the contaminated product by the brand name H&C Farms or Williams Farms Repack on the label. The tomatoes were distributed between April 23 and April 28 and have UPC number 0 33383 65504 8 and Lot Codes R4467 and R4470. It's also worth noting that wholesalers may have received affected products, potentially widening the scope of the issue. Thankfully, all identified tomatoes have been removed from stores and are no longer available for purchase, but you may still want to tread lightly if you live in any of the impacted states. It looks like Tomato Girl summer is off to a pretty rocky start.
