Great good luck and best wishes to Lou. He paid the cost to be the boss.

Artistic ups and downs notwithstanding (as these happen in every long creative career), Lou has given us a lot of genius and a lot of joy and memories. It's impossible not to love this guy, unthinkable to imagine rock without his input.

First I heard of this, Get well Lou! Drugs effects the liver as much as alcohol.

I didnt know myself too he was so ill. He'd gave us some genious art writing songs.
I got good memories of his music and him as performer.

Best wishes to one of my favorite grumpy old men from rock and poetry. I kinda liked Lulu; at least he really doesn't give a damn about people, he does what he wants.

A MESSAGE FROM LOU REED
I am a triumph of modern medicine, physics and chemistry.

I am bigger and stronger than ever. My Chen Taiji and health regimen
has served me well all of these years, thanks to Master Ren Guang-yi.
I look forward to being on stage performing, and writing more songs to
connect with your hearts and spirits and the universe well into the future.
