Neil Young Recovering From Brain Aneurysm

NEW YORK (AP) -- Neil Young was treated for a brain aneurysm this week and remains hospitalized, although doctors expect a full recovery, his publicist said Friday.

The 59-year-old rocker underwent a procedure to treat it Tuesday night at a New York hospital, where he was expected to remain for a few more days, publicist Bob Merlis told The Associated Press.

Dr. Pierre Gobin, who performed the procedure with another doctor, said: "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."

Young had been expected to perform Sunday at the Juno Awards - the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys.

Then, I actually started to get worried(big Neil Young fan here). Hope he does better soon.

Hopefully it will be a gentle journey back to good health for Neil Young.

He's a wonderfully talented person, and all my favorites are getting along in years. Just think of those very early songs he did with the Buffalo Springfield - they were like no songs anyone had written before. Young has a unique style and sensibilty.
