Joni Mitchell Is "Speaking Well", Full Recovery Expected
Joni Mitchell was hospitalized on March 31 when she was found unconscious at home. After that, several conflicting reports surfaced about her condition. It was recently revealed that she suffered a brain aneurysm and was still in “very serious” condition.
On Friday, David Crosby gave an interview where he claimed that Mitchell was unable to speak. Today, as Billboard points out, Mitchell’s conservator and friend Leslie Morris has released a statement clarifying the singer/songwriter’s current condition.
“Joni did in fact suffer an aneurysm,” the statement reads. “However, details that have emerged in the past few days are mostly speculative. The truth is that Joni is speaking, and she’s speaking well. She is not walking yet, but she will be in the near future as she is undergoing daily therapies. She is resting comfortably in her own home and she’s getting better each day. A full recovery is expected.”
