"Recently, I noticed I was shrinking," Newman wrote. "People over whom I had towered now towered over me. Could this be payback for having written Short People? Turns out, my neck was broken."
"They operated on me successfully, I think," he continued. "For even now, I look less like an anteater and more like a folk rock artist from the early sixties. But the doctor said I'm not quite ready to tour. I was really looking forward to coming to Europe to perform. I miss performing a great deal and I look forward to a time when I can come. I'm sorry I won't see you this time but I will see you soon."
