Yoko Ono, 83, Released From Hospital After Being Admitted For Flu

NEW YORK (CBSLA.com/AP) — Yoko Ono's representative says the 83-year-old artist-singer has been released from a New York City hospital after being treated for the flu.

Elliott Mintz spoke to The Associated Press on Saturday. He said earlier that Ono went to the hospital Friday night on the advice of her doctor after having flu-like symptoms.

Sean Ono Lennon said on Twitter Saturday that his mother was "running about as usual" after getting home. He says he may now go get a flu shot.

He also tweeted, "The only stroke @yokoono has was a Stroke of Genius!"

Friday evening, it was widely reported Ono had suffered a stroke. The Fire Department was quoted as saying she was rushed to the hospital "unconscious."

Ono is the widow of John Lennon of the Beatles. She was treated at Mount Sinai West Hospital in Manhattan.
