SINGER PHOEBE SNOW SUFFERS BRAIN ANEURYSM

Singer Phoebe Snow Hospitalized For Brain Aneurysm

Legendary singer Phoebe Snow, 58, suffered a brain hemorrhage on Tuesday, January 19, and has undergone life-saving emergency surgery. Doctors for the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter said that the surgery went very well. Snow is hospitalized in an undisclosed medical center.

"Phoebe is a very strong person and she is stable now. It is too early to assess any residual motor damage, and we are taking it day-by-day, but doctors are hopeful for a complete recovery," said Snow's manager, Sue Cameron. "She was very excited about starting engagements with her new band, and we have now postponed them. Please keep her in your prayers."

Composer of more than 100 songs, Snow's "Poetry Man" was her first huge hit, which led to her three appearances on Saturday Night Live a Best New Artist Grammy nomination, and the cover of Rolling Stone. She was nominated for another Grammy in 1975, and has released 16 albums. Her most recent album was "Phoebe Snow LIVE at Woodstock."

Snow does approximately 50 concerts a year in the U.S., has performed in Europe and the Far East, and earns multiple standing ovations everywhere. The coveted Snow is also sought-after as a surprise guest-duet singer at her friends¡¦ rock, R&B and pop concerts. Some of these appearances have included Cindy Lauper, Roger Daltry, Brian McKnight, Queen Latifah, Paul Simon, Chaka Khan, Donald Fagen and Steely Dan, Levon Helm, Michael McDonald, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Billy Joel, Michael Bolton, and Bonnie Raitt.
