Yoko’s spokesman Elliot Mintz later made an official statement on the earlier reports — which has left fans wondering why Yoko was rushed in an ambulance for “a check-up” at a hospital:
They are not accurate. To the best of my knowledge, she had symptoms along the lines of a serious flu, and her doctor thought it was best that she would get a check-up at the hospital, and she is being checked up for that, and hopefully will be released as early [as] tomorrow. There is no stroke, and there are no life-threatening circumstances as has been described to me. It’s just an advanced case of the flu.
