Quincy Jones had a medical emergency and was taken to the hospital on Saturday afternoon complaining about the food he ate.
According to his rep, the 90-year-old multi-Grammy Award winner had a “bad reaction to some food he ate”…and out of an abundance of caution he called 911 for help”.
Paramedics transported him to the emergency room from his Los Angeles home. He was subsequently discharged by the doctors.
Quincy Jones had two operations that left him with six steel pins in his head after he suffered a life-threatening brain aneurysmin 1974.
Inhis 2018 documentary, titled “Quincy“, he revealed he had two brain aneurysms. “So I guess I would classify as having some experience with trauma to the brain. Also, my mother suffered from mental illness,” he said.
“She was a brilliant woman who spoke several languages and had degrees from several colleges, but she had this condition that debilitated her, which today could’ve been controlled with medication.”, Quincy said of his mother. “But at the time, during the Depression, they simply would commit you.”
During an interview with Ophrah Winfrey, Quincy said the operation taught him to inform others on how best to take good care of their brain.
In 2015, he was also rushed to the hospital after falling ill with chest pains and shortness of breath at his Bel Air home.
“Quincy is fine. He had some shortness of breath and in an abundance of caution, he went in for observation. He is fine though”, his representative also said at that time.
