LONDON, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Kinks' co-founder Dave Davies is recovering in a London hospital from a stroke that left the guitarist partially paralyzed.
Davies, 57, was leaving the BBC's offices after a round of interviews June 30 when he collapsed and was taken to a hospital, E! Online reported Wednesday.
Davies' spokesperson, Alan Robinson, said the veteran rocker was in good spirits despite paralysis on his right side, a condition doctors hope is temporary.
There is some feeling on the right side and Davies can "still hold a guitar pick," Robinson said.
"The doctors are confident that with physical therapy, he will recover," Robinson said, adding that doctors think Davies will need another month of treatment.
Davies and brother, Ray, started the Kinks in the early 60s and recorded rock classics such as "You Really Got Me" and "Come Dancing." They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
