Joni Mitchell Update: Coma Claims Refuted by 'Strong-Willed' Singer's Camp, 'She's Alert'

Joni Mitchell's longtime friend has filed for conservatorship due to the singer-songwriter's alleged incapacity. A denial that Mitchell is unresponsive was issued on Mitchell's website within hours.

As HNGN previously reported, Mitchell was hospitalized on March 31 after an emergency call was placed for an "unconscious female" at the singer's Los Angeles home. The Hall of Famer has been in UCLA Medical Center's ICU since her initial hospitalization with an undisclosed ailment. Mitchell reportedly suffers from Morgellons disease.

Mitchell spoke to Billboard in 2014 about her illness: "I've had a very full life. I don't miss much of anything. I can't sing anymore - don't miss it. I can't play anymore - don't miss it."
