Legendary singer, songwriter, and pianist Leon Russell was hospitalized (apparently in California) for a brain fluid leak, heart failure, and pneumonia, and underwent five hours of brain surgery on Monday.

Oklahoma's red dirt poet laureate. Heal soon, Leon.

I hope he can be repaired ...

You and your family are in our prayers. You can be "repaired" but, you can never be replaced.

OK newspapers are reporting that Leon is doing well and should be able to get out of the hospital in a few days. He's a tough old guy.

Following the 2010 clickable link to Tulsa World lead me not to the old article but to a headline "Leon Russell has died". But at least that is a Nov. 2016 headline and Leon did get close to another 7 years of performing, recording and family life since he had to undergo brain surgery in Jan 2010.
