It is not an assumption. She confirmed in a very recent TV interview that she is running out of money paying for her kid's tuitions etc. She stated that it was ok when she could still tour .She has not had a hit album since the 1980s and has written very few songs..none of them hits or very well known..The only one I can think of is "Try Me Again"so the royalties are minimal.I would hazard a guess that Stevie made more money in 2013 than Linda has in the past 20 years combined.Sure she does not live as opulently as Stevie but with little coming in her nice house in the Sunset district and her kid's college expenses would be difficult to sustain.
