Hollywood legend Liza Minelli has spent much of her life waging a highly-publicized battle with addiction.
Now, friends and family fear that the 70-year-old star may have accepted defeat.
According to Radar Online, Minelli’s behavior has been causing concern amongst those in her inner circle in recent weeks.
Sources say the actress and singer recently sold the Manhattan apartment where she resided for the past decade in order to move into a Los Angeles rental property with a staff of newly-hired assistants.
Those closest to her reportedly fear that the recently-rehabbed star has been indulging her vices and doesn’t plan to live much longer.
Of particular concern is a message that Minelli recorded for fans last month that has the tone of a sad farewell:
“I wouldn’t be who I am without you, any of you, and on top of that, I just remember all of the goodness and all of the kind wishes and the support and the friendship,” Minelli said.
“Thank you very, very much. I’ll never ever forget you.”
“It was chilling listening to it,” said one friend.
“Liza sounded like she was saying farewell. It was just heartbreaking. People have to be worried. You just have to wonder if she has three months left.”
In addition to her struggles with drugs and alcohol, Minelli has dealt with a number of serious health issues in recent years, including a near-fatal battle with double pneumonia and a number of broken bones from slips and falls.
