About this episode

Huey Lewis discusses his experience with hearing loss and finding a new identity after music.

Huey Lewis (Huey Lewis and the News, Back to the Future) joins us this week for a deeply honest conversation about losing his hearing to Meniere's disease and what life looks like on the other side of music. Huey opens up about the worst six months of his life, the cochlear implant that changed everything, and finding a new identity through fly fishing and friendship. We also get into the wild origin of Power of Love, his nerves singing Prince's part on We Are the World, and the songwriting philosophy that kept him unique in a sea of singers.
