Dr. Dre Reveals He Suffered 3 Strokes While Hospitalized For Brain Aneurysm

by

Dr. Dre says he suffered three strokes while in the hospital to treat his brain aneurysm back in 2021. He recounted the experience while appearing on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine with James Corden, last week.

“It’s just something that you can’t control that just happens, and during those two weeks, I had three strokes,” Dre told Corden. “I got up, and I went on about my day, and I thought that I could just lay down and take a nap.” He added that one of his son’s friends suggested they go to the hospital. “So they took me to urgent care,” Dre said. “Next thing you know, I’m blacking out. I’m in and out of consciousness, and I ended up in the ICU. I was there for two weeks. I’m hearing the doctors coming in and saying, ‘You don’t know how lucky you are.’”

As for how he could’ve prevented the aneurysm, Dre says doctors couldn’t provide any help. “Nobody could give me an answer,” he said. “I had no idea that I had high blood pressure or anything like that. I’m lifting weights, I’m running, I’m doing everything I can to keep myself healthy. High blood pressure in Black men, that’s just what it is. They call it the silent killer. You just have no idea.” He finished that suggesting that the experience “definitely makes you appreciate being alive, that’s for sure … It’s crazy, so now knowing that I had no control over that. It’s just something that could happen out of the blue.”

In the time since the hospitalization, Dre has headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show. He also recently teamed up with Snoop Dogg to release a line of cocktails called “Gin and Juice.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Dr. Dre on HotNewHipHop.

Back in 2021, Dr. Dre woke up with “the worst pain” behind one of his ears, which he admits he initially brushed off. As his day went on, however, his son and a friend urged him to seek medical attention. Eventually, he went to the hospital, where he was told that his condition was “serious.” During a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine with James Corden, the Grammy-winner reflected on the frightening experience of learning that he had suffered a brain aneurysm. He also revealed that during his hospitalization, he suffered three strokes.

“I got up and went about my day, and I thought I could lay down and take a nap,” he explained. “My son and a female friend were like ‘No, we need to take you to the hospital. Next thing you know, I’m blacking out, I’m in and out of consciousness and I end up in the ICU. I was there for two weeks. I’m hearing doctors come in, ‘You don’t know how lucky you are.’ I asked questions about what I could’ve done to prevent this.”

“Nobody could give me an answer,” Dr. Dre continued. “I had no idea that I had high blood pressure or anything like that because I’m on my health sh*t. I’m lifting weights, I’m running, I’m doing everything I can to keep myself healthy.” He added that he isn’t sure whether or not the experience made a “significant change” to his life. He does say, however, that a scare like that “definitely makes you appreciate being alive.”

“It’s cr*zy, so now knowing that I had no control over that. It’s just something that could happen out of the blue,” he described. “You wake up and you go, ‘Sh*t. OK, I’m here.’” What do you think of Dr. Dre revealing that he suffered three strokes following his 2021 brain aneurysm? Are you glad the hitmaker is doing better these days?

Tom Sizemore’s Family Deciding On “End Of Life Matters”

by

Doctors have reportedly informed Tom Sizemore’s family that there is no hope for recovery after the iconic actor suffered a brain aneurysm on February 18 as the result of a stroke. In turn, the family is considering end-of-life matters for the 61-year-old. Throughout his prolific career, Sizemore played Sgt. Horvath in Saving Private Ryan as well as Michael Cheritto in Heat, and many more roles. Sizemore’s manager, Charles Lago, confirmed the state of his health in a statement to Yahoo Entertainment on Monday.

“Today, doctors informed his family that there is no further hope and have recommended end of life decision,” Lago wrote to the outlet. “The family is now deciding end of life matters and a further statement will be issued on Wednesday. We are asking for privacy for his family during this difficult time and they wish to thank everyone for the hundreds of messages of support, and prayers that have been received. This has been a difficult time for them.”

Sizemore has struggled with substance abuse throughout his life. In 2021, he spoke with Fox News about his journey, admitting that he eventually reached a point where he knew he had to stop. “I’ve been trying to get sober since 1991. It became really big news much later than that, but I was trying to stop. I’ve had a problem for a long time. I had periods, long periods, of sobriety and I would end up relapsing,” he said. Sizemore continued: “I still go to meetings and work my steps, but I had reached a place in my life where I knew I had to stop. I couldn’t be arrogant anymore. If I wanted to reach a nice and pleasant old age, I had to stop. And if I wanted to watch my kids grow up, I needed to reach a place where I knew it was over.”

In addition to Saving Private Ryan and Heat, Sizemore has also appeared in Black Hawk Down, Passenger 57, Heat, True Romance, Natural Born Killers, Devil in a Blue Dress, The Relic, and Strange Days, as well as Twin Peaks: The Return. Sizemore is the father of two children, Jagger and Jayden, whom he shares with Janelle McIntire. The two twins were born in 2005.
