Matthew Sweet Suffers ‘Debilitating’ Stroke, GoFundMe Launched to Aid Recovery


Matthew Sweet, known for his 90s hits "Girlfriend" and "I’ve Been Waiting," is recovering from a debilitating stroke that occurred while on tour.

Carter described Sweet’s situation as “a long, difficult road to recovery,” adding that the artist will require weeks of around-the-clock care followed by months of rehabilitation. The GoFundMe campaign was organized by Catherine Lyons, of Russell Carter Artist Management, who reiterated the severity of Sweet’s condition, noting that the musician’s recovery will be a long process, requiring multiple stages of care. Last week, Matthew Sweet was forced to cancel an extensive cross-country tour of both headline dates and opening slots for longtime friends, Hanson after suffering a debilitating stroke in Toronto late Saturday evening (October 12).
