David Palmer Changes Gender - Now Dee Palmer

Legendary former Tull orchestral leader and keyboardist David Palmer is now a woman. As quoted in The Daily Mirror, David (now Dee) states “I want to be judged on my musical ability alone, and nothing else." She is working on a solo album.

Ian released this press statement, quoted here from Scotsman.com.

"I have known for the past two years of David Palmer’s intention to undergo gender-changing procedures and, like many other people who have known David for three decades as a bearded, pipe-smoking man’s man, I found it difficult to understand at first,” he said.

“But I fully support his decision to undertake a new life as a woman.

“To the many fans of Jethro Tull, I can only offer that they should accept Dee Palmer for her new persona and hope that they enjoy her musical activities in the future.”
