NEW YORK (CNN) -- Rocker Neil Young was treated for a "dangerous brain
aneurysm" this week but is expected to make a full recovery, his agent
said Friday.
Young underwent "minimally invasive neuroradiology" treatment Tuesday at
a New York hospital and remains hospitalized.
"The procedure corrected the problem and has been characterized as a
complete success with a total recovery. And resumption of normal
activities by the 59-year-old rock legend is predicted for the near
future," agent Bob Merlis said in a statement.
Young began experiencing problems in New York nearly three weeks ago, on
March 14, after he performed with The Pretenders at their induction
ceremony at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Later that night, he
experienced blurred vision.
A neurologist gave Young an MRI scan, discovered the aneurysm and
scheduled the procedure for this week. Young traveled to Nashville for
recording work before returning to New York for the procedure.
"He is now resting comfortably and has made a full recovery, but we
strongly recommend that he not travel for several days," said Dr. Pierre
Gobin with the New York-Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center.
Young had to cancel his performance Sunday at the Juno Awards, the
Canadian equivalent of the Grammys.
"I'm really disappointed that I won't be able to make it to Winnipeg for
the Junos as I had hoped. I grew up there and was really looking forward
to the show as well as spending some time with my old friends and
family," Young said in a written statement.
An aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel, much like a bulge on an
over-inflated inner tube, and can be fatal if it ruptures, causing a
hemorrhagic stroke.
During minimally invasive neuroradiology procedures, doctors insert a
catheter through the groin and into the brain, and small coils are used
to clear up the bulge.

I believe he is enjoying his life by playing music.
What's not to enjoy about that?
Especially when you have roadies to lug around your equipment!

No do you not know the story of the More Barn?
Here is a breif synopsis
Nelly had one of the CSN lads over at his place, apparently in Canada
anyway Neil has this big ranch with a lake, and he took the mate out on
it on his "boat" for a couple of cones, anyhow this music starts up
like LOUD from Neil's casa his buddy is like really impressed, when a
roadie appears on the shore, and asks how the sound is, turns out they
have used the house as one channel for stereo and the other the Barn,
SO Neil yells back More Barn!
liked the Crazy horse,
Yes Rap how did that take off?
one has to ask what is next.
