I just noticed on wiki that Anita is listed as a 'past' member of the group?
I looked at the Pointer Sisters web site and all the 'current' pictures show
Issa, Sadako and Ruth? Is Anita no longer performing with the group?
Ruth revealed during a recent press junket for her book that Anita has left the group because of serious health challenges culminating in chemotherapy.
Their website still lists Anita as a Pointer sister. Sad news. I thought she had recovered awhile ago and she was touring with them again but I guess she's had a recocurence. Ruth didn't mention it on Wendy Williams show.
I'm sorry to hear that. Sending Anita out some positive thoughts.Quote:

That is wonderful news. Anita may have been my favorite, though I love them all. Thanks for this update.Quote:

I love the Pointers. Ruth's book was a great read and I've been listening to them in heavy rotation for over a year. Was knocked out to see one of favorite non-single, album tracks, 'Bring Your Sweet Stuff Home,' prominently featured in an episode of "Quantico" last season.
I saw Ruth, Issa and Sadako performing in Sydney, Australia last year. While it was disappointing that Anita was not part of the group I have to say that they put on a dynamite show and the Pointer Sisters sound is still very much intact.
Best wishes to Anita and continued good health.
Does Bonnie ever sing with the group live? Thanks!Quote:

Maybe Ruth meant that Bonnie would expect a bigger slice of the pie when it comes to the performance fee? As much as I would love to see Bonnie back with the group, for me, it's a blessing just to see her healthy and sober.
I wanted Bonnie to rejoin,but I agree that it is good to see her healthy and sober.Quote:
