Lindsay stable after hemorrhage
SYDNEY: Australian coun-
try and western music singer
Reg Lindsay remained in a se-
rious condition in hospital
yesterday after suffering a
brain hemorrhage three days
ago.
A spokesman for Lindsay's
record company Larrikin En-
tertainment, Morag White,
said he was still in intensive
care at Newcastle's John
Hunter Hospital.
"There's been no change,
he's still lucid. His wife Ros-
lyn has been at his bedside all
the time and he recognises
her," Ms White said.
"He's still in a serious but
stable condition. Immediately
after a brain hemorrhage is
the most critical time — it's a
waiting game."
She said Lindsay, 62, would
have performed last night in
the Living Legend spot at the
Tamworth Country Music Fes-
tival's Golden Guitar Awards
presentation.
"It's a real shame. It's the
first time in 17 years he had
the chance to perform at the
awards since he won male vo-
calist of the year in 1974 with
July, You're A Woman.
Lindsay has been in the
country music business for 40
years.
He won again in 1978 for Si-
lence On The Line and in 1980
for Empty Arms Hotel, but his
biggest success was the song
Armstrong, inspired by Neil
Armstrong's 1969 moon land-
ing.
Ted Egan performed in
place of Lindsay at the award
presentation last night.
