Joni Mitchell is not in a coma, and is 'expected to make a full recovery.'

“A full recovery is expected” for the singer.

UPDATE: 

Joni Mitchell’s official website has confirmed the singer is not in a coma and is expected to make a full recovery.

TMZ reported the singer was in a coma and unresponsive after she was hospitalised earlier this month, however Mitchell’s official site has released a statement to say this is not true.

Contrary to rumors circulating on the Internet today, Joni is not in a coma. Joni is still in the hospital – but she comprehends, she’s alert, and she has her full senses. A full recovery is expected. The document obtained by a certain media outlet simply gives her longtime friend Leslie Morris the authority – in the absence of 24-hour doctor care – to make care decisions for Joni once she leaves the hospital. As we all know, Joni is a strong-willed woman and is nowhere near giving up the fight. Please continue to keep Joni in your thoughts. You may add your well wishes for her at the websiteWeLoveYouJoni.com

Our thoughts and prayers are with Mitchell, her friends and family.
