Rick Springfield’s Health: Updates on His Condition After Suffering Brain Damage During Stage Fall


Rick Springfield revealed he suffered brain damage after falling from a stage during a performance 25 years ago. Updates on the singer's condition and health.

The “Jessie’s Girl” rocker hit his head multiple times after taking a terrible fall while performing in Las Vegas in 2000. The General Hospital alum said that while a lot of people “don’t want to know what’s wrong with them,” he’s the “opposite” because his dad’s life could have been saved if he had sought medical care about a health condition. “I wanted to see if [ketamine would] open a few things in my brain,” he told People about using the dissociative anesthetic to treat depression, which he’s struggled with since his teenage years.
