Neil Young treated for aneurysm
On eonline.com
Neil Young may have a heart of gold, but his head hasn't been doing so good.
The legendary rocker was treated for a brain aneurysm Tuesday in New York, his publicist said Friday.
Although Young remains hospitalized at New York's Weill Cornell Medical Center, he is expected to make a full recovery. Doctors who performed surgeries on the "Heart of Gold" singer are optimistic he'll be back to normal soon.
"Mr. Young had a dangerous brain aneurysm and was treated successfully by the minimally invasive neuroradiology team here. He is now resting comfortably...but we strongly recommend that he not travel for several days," Dr. Pierre Gobin, one of the doctors who performed the delicate surgery, told the Associated Press Friday.
Although the most common symptom of a brain aneurysm is a severe headache, the 59-year-old first became aware of a potential problem when his vision became blurry during the March 14 induction ceremonies for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Young's publicist, Jim Merlis, told AP.
Although brain aneurysms can occur at any age, they are more common in adults.
Young is expected to remain hospitalized for at least the weekend for observation. Merlis told AP Friday that his client has "got to take it easy."
The iconic multi-instrumentalist had been scheduled to head to Winnipeg Sunday for Canada's Juno Awards.
While Young will not be able to perform, or even attend the ceremony, he still managed to squeeze in a few nice words about his former hometown (although Young was born in Toronto, he was raised in Winnipeg).
"I'm really disappointed that I won't be able to make it to Winnipeg for the Junos as I had hoped," Young said in a statement Friday.
"I grew up there and was really looking forward to the show as well as spending some time with my old friends and family."
Luckily for Young, he may have another chance to visit after heading off a potentially deadly condition.
"Thanks to my doctors, I'm feeling a lot better now so I hope I can get a rain check," he said Friday.
