ERTEGUN IN DEEP COMA

LATEST: Atlantic Records co-founder AHMET ERTEGUN is
critically ill in a coma, following his fall at a
ROLLING STONES concert on 29 October (06). The record
label issued a statement last month (NOV06) saying the
83-year-old music mogul was recovering well from his
brain injury, but denied he was in a coma. However,
his neurosurgeon DOCTOR HOWARD RIINA at the Weill
Cornell Medical Center in New York, says Ertegun is
seriously ill. Riina says, "(He) sustained a severe
brain injury after a fall. He's in a deep coma and in
critical condition. His chance of a meaningful
recovery is small." When asked by the Reuters news
agency if Ertegun would continue to receive life
support, Riina said, "It's not clear at this point. He
remains critically ill. He's still very sick."
Turkish-born Ertegun founded Atlantic Records with
HERB ABRAMSON in 1947, which launched the careers of
RAY CHARLES, LED ZEPPELIN and ARETHA FRANKLIN.



There are four means of refuge from the miseries of life: music, cats,
humor, and chocolate.
