NEW YORK, April 2 (UPI) -- Canadian rock legend Neil Young is recuperating from brain surgery in New York and will not perform at this weekend's Juno Awards, the Globe and Mail reports.
The 59-year-old had surgery Tuesday after an MRI showed a potentially fatal aneurysm. While his doctors said they expect him to make a complete recovery, they advised against him traveling to Winnipeg for Sunday's Canadian music awards ceremony.
"I'm really disappointed that I won't be able to make it to Winnipeg," Young said in a statement. "I grew up there and was really looking forward to the show, as well as spending some time with my old friends."
After attending the Junos in 1982, where he was inducted into Canada's Music Hall of Fame, Young said he wasn't "really big on awards shows" and would only attend the event again if it was held in Winnipeg.
He was a member of Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young before making his own way with and without his frequent backing band, Crazy Horse.
