Joni Mitchell currently “awake and in good spirits” in hospital

Joni Mitchell was hospitalised yesterday evening (31st March), after being found unconscious at her home in Los Angeles. A statement released on her website states that:

“Joni was found unconscious in her home this afternoon. She regained consciousness on the ambulance ride to an L.A. area hospital. She is currently in intensive care undergoing tests and is awake and in good spirits. More updates to come as we hear them. Light a candle and sing a song, let’s all send good wishes her way.”

In December 2014, Mitchell revealed to Billboard magazine that she has a rare skin condition, Morgellons disease, which has prevented her from performing live. Mitchell said:

“I can’t sing any more - don’t miss it. I can’t play any more - don’t miss it. I’ve got all these instruments laying around and hopefully one day I’ll pick them up,”
