Mitchell's friend David Crosby made headlines last week when he said in an interview that Mitchell "had an aneurysm, and nobody found her for a while. And she's going to have to struggle back from it the way you struggle back from a traumatic brain injury."

Morris confirmed that Mitchell indeed had an aneurysm but other reports that she was not speaking are false. Morris released the following statement on Joni's official website "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." -
