Barry White recovering from stroke

Barry White's family say the singer is recovering after a stroke earlier this month, which occurred while he awaited a kidney transplant.

The family of Barry White have confirmed that the legendary singer is now recovering after suffering a stroke earlier this month. The stroke happened as the star awaited a kidney transplant to overcome complications from years of chronic high blood pressure.

White's daughter told reporters: "He's had a minor setback, but have no fear, he'll be fine. He will definitely be performing again. He is in great spirits".

White hasn't performed since August 1999 when he started receiving regular hospital treatment for his blood pressure.
