Phoebe Snow Suffers Brain Hemorrhage


Singer songwriter Phoebe Snow, 58, whose throaty growl of a voice has captivated audiences for 35 years, had a brain hemorrhage in her NJ home last Tuesday. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Snow has undergone emergency surgery, and that it was successful.

Sue Cameron, Snow’s manager, released a statement about the hemorrhage. “Phoebe is a very strong person and she is stable now. It is too early to assess any residual motor damage, and we are taking it day-by-day, but doctors are hopeful for a complete recovery.”

The New York area singer has been nominated for two Grammys, including Best New Artist in 1974. Her most famous song was the hit “Poetry Man.”



Snow was born in New York City, and raised in Teaneck, NJ. She continues to be a frequent performer, doing about 50 shows a year. She is not unfamiliar with television as well. She has performed on Saturday Night Live three times, and she appeared on an episode of Hannah Montana last year.

Phoebe Snow’s most recent album was titled Phoebe Snow -- Live.

The author wishes Phoebe a swift recovery, as he is one of many entranced by her voice.
