Williams should recover "100 percent" and has gigs planned for July Share this article: CREDIT: Erika Goldring/Getty Images Beloved singer/songwriter Lucinda Williams had a stroke shortly before Thanksgiving 2020. She confirmed the news in an interview with Rolling Stone. However, Williams’ husband/manager Tom Overby affirms that Williams should recover “100 percent.” Williams, who has plans to play gigs this summer, says, “The main thing is I can still sing. I’m singing my ass off, so that hasn’t been affected. Can’t keep me down for too long.” She said that on Nov. 17, getting ready to take a shower, she began to have trouble keeping her balance and became unable to walk.
