As previously reported, Luther Vandross was in a coma after suffering a stroke in April. We can now report that with an album in the racks - he was moved out of intensive care and upgraded to stable condition yesterday - but remains in hospital.
A label source said: "Luther is more and more responsive each day, I feel as though I am watching a modern day miracle. Doctors are still unsure if [he] has suffered any long-term damage from the stroke. When his condition improves, he will be moved to a rehabilitation facility.
Family and friends last week told The Associated Press that he was beginning to mouth words and had started light therapy. He also no longer needs a respirator to breathe.
