Lil’ Wayne Health Fears Subside As Star Leaves Hospital
Concerns over the well-being of hip hop star Lil’ Wayne have subsided after the artist was released from hospital following a serious health scare. The ‘Tha Carter III’ rapper suffered an unexplained series of seizures, culminating in his hospitalization in a critical condition. Some fans believed Lil’ Wayne would not survive. But according to Lil Wayne’s Twitter feed , he has now left hospital and is in improving health. His release from hospital is obviously encouraging news. Lil’ Wayne has fought to overcome media speculation about his condition. Some sources have suggested the seizures were linked to the drug codeine, which he was said to have been using recreationally in the run-up to this health scare. Codeine is consumed in the form of ‘purple drank’, a drug based on prescription cough mixtures. The syrup is mixed with a soft drink mixer and consumed to intoxicate, and the hip-hop scene has been synonymous with the drink for decades. But Lil’ Wayne himself denies this allegation, saying the seizures are a persistent issue, the cause of which doctors have been unable to identify. Nevertheless, fans will be delighted that he is back on his feet, and almost ready to return to public performance. One of Lil’ Wayne’s most recent seizures happened during the shooting of a music video for his collaboration with Nicki Minaj, the artist he discovered and mentors. The ‘Young Money’ star’s visit to Lil’ Wayne in hospital was one of the most moving scenes for hip hop fans for many years, at a time when his condition was still stabilizing in hospital. He sustained further seizures on separate flights on his private jet, leading to two emergency landings for immediate medical attention. While the severity of his condition was played down at the time, the star’s move to intensive care sent shockwaves through the music industry. Musicians from a wide range of influences came together to pray and wish the star well. His recovery is testament to the goodwill and warmth that was shown to him – both from fans and the industry alike. ABCTickets, which processes ticketing for some Lil’ Wayne events, said that fans could still look forward to seeing Lil’ Wayne in concert at their favorite venues, including the famous Susquehanna Bank Center-the venue in Camden, NJ . “Lil’ Wayne’s health was obviously a major concern for fans, and it’s great to hear that he’s getting better and he’s out of hospital. As this much-loved star takes to the road for his next series of shows, fans can expect tickets to be hot property – even in some of the larger venues on the tour.” Lil’ Wayne is scheduled to perform throughout the US and Europe in the summer, marking the culmination of the America’s Most Wanted tour. With the singer now on the mend, and his expressed desire to retire within the next few years, ticket agents are expecting a scramble wherever seats go on sale.
