Jerry Lee Lewis moved to rehabilitation centre after stroke

Jerry Lee Lewis has been admitted to a rehabilitation centre for “aggressive and intensive rehab”, two weeks after suffering a minor stroke.
The rock ‘n’ roll star’s publicist, Zack Farnum, confirmed to Reuters that the 83-year-old, who was hospitalised on 28 February (19), has been moved to a centre in Memphis, about 20 miles from his home, and he is expected to make a full recovery.
Lewis’s health setback forced the Great Balls of Fire singer to cancel some upcoming appearances, including a 28 April date at the New Orleans Jazz Festival and a show at the Tennessee Theater in Knoxville, Tennessee, in May.
In his statement, Farnum shared an update from the performer’s neurologist, Dr. Rohini Bhole, who assured the musician’s fans that his prognosis is promising.
“Jerry Lee is expected to fully recover with aggressive and intensive rehab,” Bhole said. “From what I have seen thus far, he is heading in the right direction.”
Lewis will be rehabilitated at a centre in the city where he got his start at Sun Records in the 1950s, alongside the likes of Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash.
