Singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell is “getting stronger each day” after being taken to hospital earlier this week, a statement published on her website says.<\/p>\n
The 71-year-old was found unconscious in her Los Angeles home on Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
A statement released on her website late on Friday said the singer was “resting comfortably”.<\/p>\n
It is still not clear what Joni Mitchell is being treated for.<\/p>\n
“We are encouraged by her progress and she continues to improve and get stronger each day,” the statement said.<\/p>\n
In December, Canadian-born Joni Mitchell told Billboard magazine that she had a rare skin condition, Morgellons disease, which prevented her from performing.<\/p>\n
“I can’t sing any more – don’t miss it. I can’t play any more – don’t miss it. I’ve got all these instruments laying around and hopefully one day I’ll pick them up,” she was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n
Morgellons is a controversial condition and is not recognised by mainstream medical authorities.<\/p>\n
Sufferers say it is characterised by crawling and stinging sensations under the skin but many in the medical community believe it is a psychiatric disorder.<\/p>\n
