Fabulous Sounds of the Sixties...#2 11 Years, 11 Months ago
LEGENDARY rocker Stevie Wright has been admitted to St Vincent's Hospital battling the ravages of a rock career that have left him with manifest health problems that would have killed a lesser man.
The 64-year-old former frontman of The Easybeats confirmed he was admitted to hospital a week ago after being sidelined by a seizure. He is now under observation for liver, kidney, lung and stomach disorders.
"I'm not the best," he said yesterday, in a slurred broken voice only faintly reminiscent of the Leeds dynamo who rock historians regard as Australia's first international pop star.
"It's probably a collection of things that have contributed to it," he said of his present health woes.
"I'm having procedures. I had a cough, so specialists started with my lungs, then my groin was giving me trouble ... They are also looking at an infection in my throat and stomach. And then there are the liver and kidney issues.
