Singer Joni Mitchell is unconscious at a hospital and unable to care for herself, a friend said in a court filing.
According to documents filed Tuesday by Leslie Morris — a self-described long-time friend of Mitchell's — the "Big Yellow Taxi" singer cannot make decisions for herself, the Associated Press reported. Morris has filed a petition asking to be made Mitchell's conservator.
The court documents cite a doctor who described Mitchell as unable to make court appearances for as long as six months.
TMZ first reported Mitchell's condition, saying she is in a coma. Later, Billboard cited unnamed sources who said Mitchell is in worse condition than is publicly known.
Mitchell's representatives did not immediately respond to BuzzFeed News' request for comment.
Mitchell was hospitalized March 31 after collapsing at her Los Angeles home.
Mitchell rose to fame during the Woodstock era.
Originally hailing from western Canada, Mitchell eventually moved to the U.S. and ultimately settled in L.A. In 1970, she wrote “Woodstock” about the eponymous festival that took place a year earlier. She is perhaps best remembered for "Big Yellow Taxi."
