In November 1995, the American press reported an incident between Simon and [[the Pretenders]]' vocalist [[Chrissie Hynde]] at a [[Joni Mitchell]] concert at New York's [[Club Fez|Fez Club]].<ref>{{cite web |publisher=[[MTV]] |url=https://www.mtv.com/news/504860/cat-fight-chrissie-hynde-hits-carly-simon-at-joni-mitchell-show/ |title=Cat Fight: Chrissie Hynde Hits Carly Simon at Joni Mitchell Show |date=November 9, 1995 |accessdate=May 21, 2022 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20210118232225/http://www.mtv.com/news/504860/cat-fight-chrissie-hynde-hits-carly-simon-at-joni-mitchell-show/ |archivedate=January 18, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |website=Jonimitchell.com |url=https://www.jonimitchell.com/library/view.cfm?id=3350 |title=Ask Blender |date=March 2007 |accessdate=May 21, 2022 |url-status=live |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027064010/https://www.jonimitchell.com/library/view.cfm?id=3350 |archivedate=October 27, 2020}}</ref> Some reports stated that a drunk and disorderly Hynde grabbed Simon around the neck and punched her, although Simon attempted to put these rumors to rest on her official website in 2002, writing "Chrissie was a bit intoxicated and was yelling out during Joni's performance which needless to say, everybody wanted to hear. Chrissie was sitting right next to me and I asked her to be a little quieter. She started choking me in a loving way, saying: 'you're great too Carly, get up there, you need to do this too'. That's all it was about. I must say that her choking me in 'fun intoxication' looked to a lot of the audience like a fight. It was not. I just couldn't believe that no one was interceding and saying anything to her. I love her music and respect her as an artist. It was just one of those things. Go figure."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.carlysimon.com/askcarly/archives/archive-042002.htm |title=Ask Carly |access-date=December 21, 2006 |last=Simon |first=Carly |date=April 9, 2002 |website=Carlysimon.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040612043715/http://www.carlysimon.com/askcarly/archives/archive-042002.htm |archive-date=June 12, 2004 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

Simon was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 1997, and underwent surgery, as well as [[chemotherapy]]; "I was in the hospital for one night," Simon said, "Because they got everything during the procedure, and the prognosis was good, my doctor gave me the option of whether to have chemo.
