Joni Mitchell was hospitalized back in April after reportedly suffering an aneurysm. Updates on Mitchell’s status since have been sparse since June. Now, though, Mitchell’s friend Judy Collins has offered some news, via a Facebook post titled “NEWS ON JONI.” Collins states that Mitchell “is making good progress.” Here’s the update in full:

I have just heard from a close mutual friend that Joni is walking, talking, painting some, doing much rehab every day, and making good progress — I have another friend who went through something similar — it does take a long time, three years for my friend, who has really totally recovered professionally and personally. I will try my best to see our songbird when I am in LA in the coming weeks –

So — some good news!!

Good news, indeed. Feel better, Joni!
