Why Did Joni Mitchell Stop Performing?
According to VOA, Joni Mitchell made her onstage comeback last year at the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island. It is considered to be her first performance in front of fans in over two decades.

She reportedly suffered from an aneurysm last 2015 which caused her brain to bleed. In addition, she also had a hard time speaking and playing the guitar.
