02 Apr 05 - 07:48 AM (#1449913) Subject: BS: Neil Young surgery From: gnu WINNIPEG (CP) - Rock legend Neil Young is recovering from surgery for a brain aneurysm, Juno organizers said Friday. The revelation came after Billboard.com quoted an unnamed Young publicist as saying the musician experienced ''visual field disturbances'' two weeks ago and an MRI scan revealed an aneurysm. Rather than having the surgery immediately, the publicist said, Young opted to spend the next week in Nashville recording a future project. Tuesday's procedure was called ''a complete success'' and Young is expected to make a full recovery, Billboard.com reported. Young was forced to cancel his appearance Sunday at the Juno Awards because of the surgery. The singing legend has always made it point to avoid awards shows and commercially minded music gatherings. After attending the Junos in 1982, where he was inducted into Canada's Music Hall of Fame, Young said he wasn't "really big on awards shows" and would only attend the event again if it was held in Winnipeg. |

Although I never really took to the guitar I'm eternally grateful to him for getting me into playing music. Go Neil. Get better soon. |

While on our Yorkshire break over Easter Herself and I went to NT property Nunnington Hall. In the gallery they had an exhibition of Graham Nash's photographs,(promoting his book of them) including several of a young Neil Young, usually looking, er, "spaced out". Hope he'll be OK soon.
