== Illness == Keith Jarrett was diagnosed with [[chronic fatigue syndrome]] in 1998, and "vanished" from performing and composing to recover. Jarrett said CFS was nothing like [[burnout]] and should be called "forever dead syndrome".<ref name="ends-silence" /> {{Quote box|quote=There's been such a mystery surrounding what I have...that it's led to all this speculation -- does he have AIDS? What kind of cancer does he have? So far as I know, my condition isn't life-threatening, but at the same time, it's not like a singer saying, 'Oh, I have a sore throat today, I don't feel like singing!' If I were to invent the most mind-boggling disease imaginable, I couldn't do better than this.<ref name="ends-silence"/> | author = Keith Jarrett}} {{Quote box|quote=No one knows how debilitating this sickness is unless they have it. It’s like if you get migraines, someone may say, ‘Oh, I get headaches so I know what it’s like.’ But you can’t imagine how bad they are unless you’ve had a migraine yourself. But this is a much more horrible disease.”<br> [Interviewer asks:] So, it’s more than just being tired or [[burnout|burned out]], a common perception? “Are you kidding? I’ve met people who have had it for 10 years, 25 years. Some are bedridden, some can’t walk across the street. It’s stupid to call it chronic fatigue syndrome. It should be called the forever dead syndrome.<ref name="forever-dead">{{citation | date = 1999 | title=Jarrett Counts His Blessings|website=Downbeat | url = http://downbeat.com/microsites/ecm-jarrett/post_5-jarrett-counts-his-blessings.html}}</ref> | author = Keith Jarrett}}
