Joni Mitchell makes first public appearance since brain aneurysm

Joni Mitchell has made her first public appearance since being hospitalised in 2015 following a brain aneurysm.

She attended a Chick Corea concert on August 20 at the Catalina Bar and Grill in Los Angeles. Photographs were posted on her website the following morning, showing her with Corea, Gayle Moran Corea and Herbie Hancock.

Mitchell suffered a brain aneurysm in March, 2015. Since then, she has continued to recover. Last October, Judy Collins posted to her Facebook page: “I have just heard from a close mutual friend that Joni is walking, talking, painting some, doing much rehab every day, and making good progress.”

Earlier this year, Mitchell won a Grammy Award for best album notes on Love Has Many Faces: A Quartet, A Ballet, Waiting To Be Danced.
