Country Legend Ronnie McDowell Recovers After Onstage Stroke, Surgery

Dave Edmunds, the renowned singer-guitarist famous for "I Hear You Knockin'" and a member of Rockpile, suffered a major cardiac arrest and was revived by CPR but remains with brain damage and severe memory loss in intensive care. Meanwhile, country music legend Ronnie McDowell experienced a stroke onstage in June, which led to surgery to remove a 70 percent blockage in his carotid artery. Despite complications likely related to blood thinners after surgery, McDowell is recovering at home, in good spirits, and has been cleared by doctors to perform again soon. His family has been providing ongoing updates, revealing the emotional toll and scary moments during his recovery. Fans have expressed strong support and relief over both musicians' conditions amid these serious health challenges. Both artists continue to receive prayers and well-wishes from the music community and their fans.
