1. "Mt. Sinai West Hospital" was known as

Roosevelt Hospital when John Lennon was brought there Dec. 8, 1980. I hope she recovers. I'm a Beatles fan and don't have any negative feelings about her, unlike some others who still wear t-shirts to Beatle fan conventions that say "imagine there's no Yoko."

11. Breaking news says not a stroke, but flu.

Sean Lennon tweets same.

9. I have nothing against Yoko - she was obviously John's choice in life

I hope she does well.

10. Let me tell ya..

he made his life so much better...he was lost in alcohol for awhile, Yoko knew she had to let him go.. and he did straighten himself out.

Besides that, I feel Yoko came along at the right time for John. he left the Beatles because he wanted more in life.. She came along and his life became more complete.. The fact that the beatles split up as early as they did is the primary reason they are considered ultimate icons in the rock and roll world.

27. Excellent insight

I agree. Was totally obsessed with the Beatles as a kid and when they split, everyone was shocked and horrified. I remember thinking that the inevitable just happened, and if it wasn't Yoko, John would have left anyway.

12. I adore her. Get well Yoko.

13. Thinking of All of the Best for Yoko Right Now...nt

14. I'm happy to see such good will towards her.

I never understood the hate.

[LiberalElite]

22. IMO it's

a blend of racism and sexism.

15. This is awful news

Best of luck to her. I hope she recovers from this ASAP.

[Jnclr89]

16. Oh No

Yoko

[JI7]

17. i like her a lot

[Geronimoe]

18. Update

Her publicist said she has a flu and her doctor told her to go to the hospital. They expect her to go home on Saturday.

[DiehardLiberal]

19. Thanks for good news. I wish her a speedy recovery and that she knows we care.

[xloadiex]

20. Sean has now tweeted

Ono's son Sean just tweeted, "Hey guys it was only rumors from press: was NOT a stroke, just dehydration/tired. She is FINE. Thank you everyone for your concern."

Why does the press blowing something out of proportion not surprise me?

[LiberalElite]

23. I read in one article that -

Yoko herself said she thought she was having a stroke when she called 911. Who the #*@(! knows. But then, "Yoko Ono has a cold" isn't much of a clickbait headline.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

21. Yoko - Get well soon!

Rep: Yoko Ono hospitalized, on the mend

Associated Press 5:51 a.m. EST February 27, 2016

NEW YORK — Yoko Ono was hospitalized in New York City for flu-like symptoms, but is on the mend and the 83-year-old artist-singer should be released this weekend, her representative said.

Ono went to the hospital on the advice of her doctor, and media reports that she had had a stroke were not true, Elliott Mintz told The Associated Press on Friday.

Ono is the widow of John Lennon of the Beatles. The couple’s son, Sean Ono Lennon, also tamped down reports of a stroke. He said on Twitter that his mother was dehydrated and tired.

“Only stroke @yokoono had was a Stroke of Genius! … She’s really fine,” he tweeted. “Thanks for all the well wishes!”

Mintz said Ono likely will be released from the hospital Saturday. “It was nothing,” he added.

[TexasBushwhacker]

28. I'm glad it wasn't a stroke

but at 83 even the flu can be life threatening. I'm glad she's getting good care.

[awoke_in_2003]

29. Same here

I can't believe she is 83. This only reminds me that I see 50 in two years.

[Dont call me Shirley]
