Clarification on cancelled tour...

[Murray]

I thought that wrinkly satin jumpsuit on the Hope special was an unfortunate wardrobe choice. I pray something so fleeting as one television broadcast didn't effect her mental fragility to such a horrific extent... but again.... we'll never know....

Richard has talked about how Karen had hired a personal trainer in 1973, to help her get into shape. The trainer had her exercising, and taking protein supplements, the result of which was that she "bulked up". He went on to say that when Karen saw herself on the Hope special (watching the broadcast at home), she "freaked out". It's possible that's the time when she started dieting.
