NINETIES rocker Linda Perry was recently photographed during a public outing in California.
The What’s Up? singer donned her signature hat and sunglasses as she went for a walk in Los Angeles’ Studio City on Sunday, August 11.
She wore a pair of jeans rolled up over the ankles, a striped purple, full-sleeved t-shirt, and a pair of dark Converse hi-tops with white socks peeking out above them.

Linda, who has composed and produced songs for artists like Pink and Gwen Stefani, was on her phone, as she kept a relatively low profile.
Linda was the lead singer for 4 Non Blondes, the American rock band initially comprising bassist Christa Hillhouse, guitarist Shaunna Hall, and drummer Wanda Day.
Before the group’s first, and only album, Bigger, Better, Faster, More! was released in October 1992, Dawn Richardson replaced Wanda on drums and Roger Rocha took Shaunna’s place on guitar.
Linda wrote the song’s most popular single, What’s Up?, which was released as the album’s second single in March 1993.
The track hit No. 1 in 10 countries, earning the album widespread success. It spent 59 weeks on the Billboard 200 and sold 1.5 million copies in the United States and six million worldwide.
Linda reflected on her early career in an interview with People ahead of the release of her documentary, Linda Perry: Let It Die Here, in June this year.
She admitted she had a “hard time” in 4 Non Blondes because “I wasn’t clear on the kind of music I wanted to do yet.”
While What’s Up? became an instant hit, the rocky road to its release caused tensions within the band.
After the band’s label made them record a version Linda didn’t like, she rebelled against them and re-recorded What’s Up? like her original demo that was used as the final version of the album.
“I knew from then on out, ‘You’re going to have to constantly be surviving here if you’re going to be alive.
“I had a hard time in the band,” she continued. “Not because of them, because I wasn’t clear on the kind of music I wanted to do yet.
“I was just really finding myself,” she told the publication, adding none of the original bandmates “talk much at all” anymore.
In June, it was revealed that Linda, 59, underwent a double mastectomy in 2021 after she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
My doctor basically said the cancer that I was the kind that she finds in people where they have six months to maybe two years to live.

In her documentary, the singer explained she realized she had cancer while preparing for an elective breast reduction surgery.
After tissue removed during the surgery was submitted for a routine pathology examination, doctors discovered Linda had triple negative cancer in her breast.
“My doctor basically said the cancer that I was the kind that she finds in people where they have six months to maybe two years to live,” Linda said.
Let It Die Here, directed by Don Hardy, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on June 6.
In the movie, Linda also revealed that she and her ex-wife Sara Gilbert remain “best friends” after their divorce.
Linda met The Conners actress at a dinner party in 2011 and tied the knot in Malibu in 2014.
Sara filed for divorce from Linda in December 2019, citing “irreconcilable differences”, with their date of separation listed as August 2019.
Despite their split, Linda and Sara remain committed co-parents to their nine-year-old son Rhodes.
“We’re never not going to be a family,” Linda told People in June, discussing her relationship with Sara. “There doesn’t feel like much of a separation because we’re always together.”
