Alt-rock singer-songwriter Matthew Sweet, known for his ‘ 90s hits like” Girlfriend” and” Sick of Myself”, is recovering from a stroke he suffered Oct. 12 while on tour in Toronto.
Sweet’s longtime director Russell Carter said , Sweet was stabilized at a French doctor before being transferred to a long-term treatment center in Omaha, Nebraska.
Carter said Sweet, 60, has” a long, hard road to recovery” that may require months of round-the-clock attention followed by months of further treatment.
” Matthew has always been passionately focused and tenacious in all of his efforts, not only in his tracking profession, but in all of his visual and intellectual interests”, Carter said.
” I am convinced that his name determination will benefit him as he concentrates on getting back to good health,” he said.
According to his situation, Sweet , canceled his remaining tour times, which included defending Hanson and his solo headline displays.
The author’s community and management , set up a GoFundMe campaign , to give his health and other costs since he is insured.
Actor Jon Cryer said,” I just gave to support Matthew Sweet, if his songs meant anything to you maybe you can support as well.”
In the 1980s, Sweet was a significant member of the small power-pop restoration that included musicians like Weezer and Ponds of Wayne. He recorded a few studio albums as a single artist and co-wrote three albums of covers with Bangles song Susanna Hoffs.
