‘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.'
