Legendary folk musician Joni Mitchell has been hospitalized over recent months after being found unconscious in her Bel- Air home in March. It’s now been confirmed that Mitchell, 71, suffered an aneurysm but contrary to recent reports, including David Crosby’s appearance on HuffPost Live, Mitchell is still able to speak, though her mobility is restricted.

Mitchell’s conservator Leslie Morris issued the following update on the musician’s current health status:

Joni did in fact suffer an aneurysm. However, details that have emerged in the past few days are mostly speculative. The truth is that Joni is speaking, and she's speaking well. She is not walking yet, but she will be in the near future as she is undergoing daily therapies. She is resting comfortably in her own home and she's getting better each day. A full recovery is expected.
