Famed hip-hop icon Dr. Dre recently opened up about his health scare in an interview on SiriusXM’s “This Life of Mine with James Corden.” The music producer revealed that he suffered three strokes while hospitalized for a brain aneurysm three years ago.
During the interview, Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, shared details about his harrowing experience, including being in and out of consciousness and spending two weeks in the ICU. Despite leading a healthy lifestyle, Dre was shocked to discover that he had high blood pressure, which he learned is hereditary.
Reflecting on the sudden and unexpected nature of his health scare, Dre expressed gratitude for being alive. His lawyer confirmed that he was hospitalized for a brain aneurysm in 2021, with Dre later taking to Instagram to update his fans on his recovery and to thank his family and medical team.
Known for his work with iconic artists such as N.W.A., Snoop Dogg, Eminem, The Game, and Kendrick Lamar, Dre is a multiple Grammy award-winning artist and producer. He is soon set to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in recognition of his contributions to the music industry.
Fans and colleagues alike are relieved to hear that Dre has recovered from his health scare and are eagerly anticipating his future projects. Despite the challenges he has faced, Dre’s resilience and positive attitude continue to inspire those around him.
