No, not at all. I mean, she's not a person out here trying to do what they call fan service. I mean, this is also a person who said she'd never perform again. I mean, I swear to God, in 2015, we found out that she'd had this aneurysm. We thought she wasn't going to make it. And I think...

I understand that. Yeah. But, you know, the entertainment business is full of stories where people have been weekends at Bernie's.
