LOS ANGELES: Folk legend Joni Mitchell is conscious and expected to make a full recovery, her official website said Tuesday, denying a report that she was in a coma.
The TMZ celebrity news outlet earlier reported that the 71 year old, who was rushed to hospital on March 31, was in a coma and “unresponsive.”
But her official website said: “Contrary to rumors circulating on the Internet today, Joni is not in a coma.
“Joni is still in hospital — but she comprehends, she’s alert, and she has her full senses. A full recovery is expected.”
TMZ said a friend of the singer-songwriter — who had been reported as having improved a few days after she was hospitalized — had filed legal documents to obtain legal guardianship over her.
