Joni Mitchell is recovering from a brain aneurysm, according to her friend and fellow singer-songwriter Judy Collins.

"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 totally recovered professionally and personally. I will try my best to see our songbird when I am in LA in the coming weeks."

Mitchell was hospitalized in the early springtime after being found unconscious in her home.

Mitchell's attorney, Rebecca J. Thyne, also provided an update.

"It was clear that Mitchell was happy to be home and that she has made remarkable progress," Thyne said. "

She has physical therapy each day and is expected to make a full recovery."
